The objective of this project is to develop decellularized extracellular matrix-based biomaterials suitable for extrusion bioprinting that capture the properties of breast cancer that has metastasized to the lung, and then to use these biomaterials to culture cells into human tissues that can be used as accurate models for preclinical drug development.

Two of the most important characteristics of woody biomass to consider when evaluating their suitability for use in bio-energy applications are moisture content and ash content. The industry has long been seeking a technology capable of rapidly and economically characterizing feedstock, however such a solution is currently not available. This project will lay the groundwork […]

This project will explore the use of virtual reality (VR) to reduce the need for sedative medication during breast surgeries performed under regional anesthesia. Currently, patients undergoing these procedures often receive intravenous sedative medication to ease anxiety, which can lead to complications like breathing problems or longer recovery times. VR immersion, which has already been […]

To quantitatively assess the security level of a cloud environment, a common method is to construct an attack graph which tracks a potentail attacker’s moves through interconnected computing systems by exploiting vulnerabilities of each system, one after another. The state-of-the-art automatic attack graph generation suffers from two limitations: 1) low quality or inconsistency of vulnerability […]

The organization, GRAME (Groupe de recommandations et d’actions pour un meilleur environnement), is a Montreal-based environmental NGO leading participatory greening projects through its VIVRE (Ville Inclusive, Verte, Résiliente et Équitable) initiative. GRAME aims to mitigate climate vulnerability and environmental injustices in marginalized neighbourhoods by reducing urban heat islands, enhancing biodiversity, improving stormwater management, and increasing […]

The intern, Sumana Soma, a UBC […]

L’agriculture et l’agrotourisme sont déterminants pour la MRC Rouville. Cependant, les entrepreneurs du secteur agricole et agroalimentaire font face à un double défi : d’une part, transformer et valoriser leurs productions dans un marché en constante évolution ; d’autre part, établir des liens durables avec leurs pairs et les acteurs de la filière. Or, l’isolement […]

)The research proposal is designed to examine the relationship between metabolism and the autonomic nervous system during exercise and recovery. This randomized, controlled crossover design experiment will consist of three sessions. The first session is a familiarization session. The second and third sessions will be the same, except the exercise portion will be done in […]

Les opérations de peinture, de sablage et de plâtrage des murs et plafonds dans les bâtiments résidentiels et commerciaux ont toujours été des tâches pénibles, répétitives et à haut risque de lésions professionnelles. La pénurie croissante de main-d’œuvre spécialisée aggrave encore cette problématique. Pour y répondre, NIO Robotics développe un robot mobile complexe capable d’exécuter […]

Per clinical guidelines, patients with Type 2 diabetes and certain co-morbidities should initiate modern glucose-controlling therapies that also reduce the risk of cardiovascular and renal adverse events, such as GLP-1 RA and SGLT2i medications. But many indicated patients have not initiated these therapies, in part because some primary care doctors are uncomfortable with the complex […]
