In multiple sclerosis, the protective coating around nerve cells called myelin and the brain cells that make myelin, called oligodendrocytes, are lost. In addition, research has shown that astrocytes, another type of brain cell, may have a negative impact on recovery in MS. Our project takes on a two-birds-with-one-stone approach to combat MS by delivering […]

Robotic sensor networks (RSN) are increasingly applied to Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). In such an application, a RSN is deployed to safe-guard some critical infrastructure (e.g., building, pipeline, etc.) in a secure and reliable fashion. By actively considering risk as a major driving force, this project aims at deciding on the optimal configuration of an […]

This project looks at the drivers, impact and actor-groups that lead to successful Social Innovations. Social Innovation has prominence in both the public and private sectors, as a way to reform societal relations and create system level change, in the structure of relationships with the goal of empowering community actors to lead the development of […]

The objective of this research project is to build capacity among Indigenous Nations and the conservation sector to catalyze reconciliation through the establishment of Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs). To do so, this we will investigate how knowledge and evidence-based research can be effectively communicated in cross-cultural and Indigenous contexts. While the field of […]

This project will help to design and develop the user interface and an image picture archiving and communication system (PACS) for mobile teledermatology for use in an application of skin imaging. This will enable both patients and specialists to acquire, archive and manage dermatological images for further diagnosis, triage and follow-up purposes. The project goals […]

The use of disposable face masks as preventive measures significantly increased in the past years. Overloading landfills with disposable face mask wastes will raise certain environmental concerns. However, their degradation in landfill leachate is poorly studied. The objective of this study is to investigate the degradation process of the mask in landfill leachate and quantify […]

This research project centres on a new recovery centre for vulnerable adults with complex mental health and addictions issues in Toronto. Recovery is an approach to mental health that values personcentred care and self-direction. Recovery centres are educational centres, based in the community, that provide programs that help people live normal, meaningful lives in their […]

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are anadromous salmonids; they inhabit both marine and freshwater habitats during distinct stages in their life cycle. Anadromy allows Atlantic salmon to play a vital role in connecting freshwater and marine ecosystems by facilitating nutrient transport and trophic interactions. This project will examine the stable isotope and lipid composition of Atlantic […]

Malgré le peu de considération portée aux impacts du gel en conception de chaussées rigides, il est connu qu’elles sont sensibles aux variations de température. Les gradients de température entre le haut et le bas des dalles font en sorte qu’il peut y avoir apparition de fissures transversales et de fissures aux coins (Harvey, 2004). […]

Canada is a multi-cultural nation that welcomes immigrants from around the world, many of whom present a high prevalence of chronic medical conditions and its risk factors. To minimize this burden, it is essential that individuals at risk of such diseases are connected to evidence-based health information. Therefore, there is a need for strategies that […]

Meat mass production is associated with many issues, from animal welfare, antibiotic use, climate change, destruction of ecological systems and wildlife extinction. Cultured meat industry is promising alternative to that, which offers the actual meat (not plant-based) without aforementioned issues. This project aims to contribute to development of cultured fat from a pig-derived stem cell. […]
