Developing safer, more effective treatments for chronic pain has become a major area of research due to the negative side effects of opioids. This project aims to mediate the intelligent design and development of drugs, that will achieve pain relief without the detrimental side effects of addiction and respiratory depression. The proposed research will use […]

The advantages of digital data (signal functions) processing have made this technique a standard for processing real world analog data in many areas of life, from music industry to seismology. Stored digitally, the data also become less sensitive to physical limitations than their analog counterparts. Other advantages include straightforward low frequency filtering procedures (e.g. as […]

The cosmetics industry represents a market with sales of more than US 1 0 billion worldwide. It is estimated that sales of cosmetic products are expected to grow annually by more than 3.7% until 2022. Extremely dynamic with a development cycle of 1 months, this sector is also extremely regulated at the national level without […]

We propose to develop in collaboration with Medtronic Canada a bioceramic drug delivery system for the local controlled release of Biphosphonates (BP) – drugs that prevent bone resorption – to promote both tumor inhibition and bone regeneration at the site of bone tumor resection, eliminating the need for high systemic doses and side effects associated […]

After legalisation, cannabis use has become more widespread, and consumption has increased in Canada. There is a need for more insight into the extent of impairment caused by cannabis in adults. The goal of this proposed research project is to determine the degree of impairment in adults after cannabis ingestion. We will study the effect […]

The use of business process modeling (BPM) and analytics has demonstrated exceptional results in improving efficiency and effectiveness in various industries. Health care processes however, are characterized by uncertain, exception and continual evolution. This project aims to apply flexible, adaptive and evolutionary process modeling protocols coupled with operations research and other analytic methods to the […]

Homelessness is a growing challenge in Canada, with devastating economic and social costs. Neuroscience offers important insights into the causes and consequences of homelessness. Individuals experiencing housing instability are more likely to have a history of brain injury and mental illness than the general population. These brain-based conditions can be associated with impaired cognition, which […]

The proposed research will focus on creating new technologies to enable commercialization of industrial hemp projects using nanotechnology. The goal is to contribute to new technology creating advance materials and manufacturing processes. The project will explore the utilization stalk from industrial hemp for developing efficient methods for manufacturing nanocellulose fibers and creating new products. The […]

Representing the collective consensus of global prescriptions of value, financial markets represent a sophisticated and complex system of academic and practitioner study. Quantitative and systematic investment strategies seek to understand characteristics of the market, and design investment strategies to profit off of those market features. A persistent and well-known market feature, known as trend, represents […]

The goal of this project is to improve the process by which professional energy managers and utility company personnel analyze large amounts of data related to energy consumption. This process is often exploratory, meaning that many analysis questions are open-ended and cannot be phrased as a directed query. Open-ended exploration can be supported by information […]
