Preparation of a new formulation to prevent surgical adhesions

Inter-tissue adhesions cause significant complications following veterinary surgery of domesticated animals. Fucoidans are natural, negatively charged, carbohydrate polymers (polysaccharides) from seaweeds that have been successfully developed and commercialized for reducing such adhesions, thereby improving surgical outcomes. Currently, the inherent variability in the molecular size and composition of native fucoidans extracted from seaweed presents a significant […]

A model of larval mosquito habitat productivity for Metro Vancouver

To improve mosquito control and public planning, we will identify places and times that mosquitoes are likely to flourish. A local mosquito control company, Culex Enviornmental Ltd., has been counting and identifying species of mosquito larvae across Metro Vancouver for more than 10 years. We will use their valuable data to create maps of potential […]
