High-Affinity Selective DNA Intercalators (HASDI): A novel approach to interfere with the transcriptional activity of disease-causing transcription factors

Cancer is a complex disease that involves multiple changes in normal cell biology, all of them leading to increased and abnormal cell replication. Depending on the tissue type, this uncontrolled tissue growth ultimately causes organ malfunction and a wide variety of signs and symptoms which, all together, indicate a pathological state which needs to be […]

Enhancing TMJ Disorder Diagnosis via AI-Assisted Segmentation

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is an umbrella term for diseases that affect the jaw. It is a common but often underdiagnosed condition that can cause significant jaw pain, limited movement, and long-term oral health issues. Accurate diagnosis relies heavily on the precise identification of tiny jaw structures in medical imaging, a task that remains challenging […]

Endovation

This project focuses on extending Neuraura’s LoOoP neurostimulation platform to address the unmet needs of individuals with endometriosis—a chronic, debilitating condition affecting 1 in 10 individuals with a uterus. While TENS therapy is already used for symptom relief, Neuraura is exploring its potential to influence tissue behavior and possibly slow or reverse lesion growth. To […]

Councils of AIs: A Multi-Agent Approach to Strategic Decision Support with Large Language Models

This research project develops an innovative approach to decision-making assistance by leveraging teams of AI-based agents, known as “councils of AIs”. These councils utilize large language models to collaboratively provide strategic advice and support for complex managerial decisions. The project aims to significantly improve the quality and effectiveness of strategic decision-making processes within organizations. The […]

Feasibility and Usability Testing of a Digital Reminiscence Platform

This project will test and improve Voiced Memories, a Canadian-made digital storytelling tool designed for older adults and caregivers. The platform allows people to pair personal photos with recorded voice stories, creating “digital memory galleries” that can be revisited, shared, and used to spark conversation. The research will take place in two settings: Memory Cafés […]

Identification of distinct regulatory mechanisms of circadian transcription programs across the circadian neuronal network.

Behavioural disorders are linked to circadian rhythm disruption. Circadian rhythms are behavioural responses to daily environmental changes, like light/dark cycles. Such behavioural responses are regulated by circadian clocks, which are biochemical time keeping machines that control the daily expression of several hundred genes. There is a circadian clock hypothesis of behavioural disorders that offers a […]

Investigating the mechanism of theta burst stimulation

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe form of non-invasive brain stimulation that treats different brain conditions. Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a TMS protocol that alters the underlying neural circuitry and is an FDA and Health Canada approved treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. How cTBS changes brain function remains unknown; however, understanding this mechanism […]

Generative AI in Corporate: Do Male and Female Leaders Respond Differently?

This project will study how male and female executives differ in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. I use the launch of ChatGPT as the big technological event to understand how executives communicate and discuss the adoption to generative AI. I then analyze how these differences affect how investors react in the stock market. […]

Design and Fabrication of a Pre-Calibrated Mount/Jig and a Fixed Calibration Fixture for WAAM Thermal Camera

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a promising technology for fabricating large metal components, but consistent thermal monitoring is challenging due to camera positioning variability. This project addresses that issue by developing two key systems: a pre-calibrated mounting jig and a fixed calibration fixture. The partner organization, which operates a WAAM system, requires precise camera […]
