Studying Cancer and SARS-CoV-2 Co-Infection with Molecular Imaging

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a common cancer imaging technique where FDG, a radioactive substance, is used to identify cancer in the body. FDG is preferentially taken up by cancer cells and creates distinct signals that are detected by the PET scanner. A limitation of FDG-PET is that FDG is not specific to cancer. Other […]

HandCOMM: AI Solution for Crane & Workers’ Safety

The construction industry heavily relies on mobile cranes for the off-site modular construction, emphasizing safety in operations. Despite standardized hand signals, inadequate and interrupted communications between mobile crane signalmen on the ground and crane operators pose significant risks of accidents, especially during blind lifts or lifts in severe weather. This research project aims to develop […]

Harnessing Copper from Algal Blooms

With the increasing demand to feed the growing population, agriculture in Southern Ontario remains important, but the reliance on fertilizers has led to many environmental problems in aquatic systems. Annual algae blooms occur every summer in Lake Erie as warm temperatures and a supply of nutrients from agriculture fields wash into these lakes. As algae […]

The effect of a 16-week intervention of increased Greek yogurt consumption on circulating markers of bone metabolism and inflammation in youth and young adult athletes

Physical activity and dairy intake during growth and development are each known to improve peak bone mass. Peak bone mass, the maximum amount of bone a person will have in their lifetime, is typically reached in the early 20’s in females and late 20’s in males. However, evidence suggests that young people do not consume […]

Project FURTHER: Physiological determinants of female ultra-endurance running

Very little research has explored ultra-endurance running, particularly in females (15% of tested subjects). We therefore have a very limited understanding about human performance, and specifically female physiology, with ultra-distances >350 km. Lululemon Athletica inc. has sponsored an initiative ‘Project FURTHER’ whereby ten females will attempt to run as far as possible within a 6-day […]
