Mutations in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) are the most common genetic risk factor for development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is characterized by the buildup of abnormal protein deposits in the brain, followed by progressive loss of neurons and behavioural symptoms. Numerous studies have noted a correlation between reduced GBA1 activity and increased levels of […]

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Radical prostatectomy (RP) is a common treatment for this cancer, and after surgery, patients are still considered at risk. It’s important to accurately identify high risk patients after RP in order to reduce risk through further treatments. The genomic classifier (GC) DecipherTM, a product of GenomeDx […]

Metafor is developing a new class of IT system management solution to monitor computer and application activities, and alert when anomalous behavior occurs. Current commercial tools for anomaly detection use simple statistical rules and thresholds to detect anomalies. These methods are failing for today’s dynamic cloud environment where change is constant. As a result, IT […]

Leveraging its roots in dance and technology, Credo is building a multimodal motions platform for dance to enhance education, choreography and archival practices; the foundation being motion capture data. There are existing 3D motion capture libraries but they are either one of or many of the following: outdated, not comprehensive, poor quality, non-standard, poorly labelled […]

The Bloedel Conservatory virtual and blended field trip experience was created to address learning and accessibility challenges during the COVID pandemic to give K-7 students and teachers an opportunity to learn about non-native plants through a biocultural diversity lens. In addition, to addressing potential accessibility challenges to the garden, the virtual field trip may provide […]

The proposed research addresses fundamental challenges in developing LLM-based AI conversational agents for industry, health and related fields.

The goal of this project is to support the research learning of three master’s students whose work would advance methods for estimating the impacts on emissions, the economy, energy costs and housing affordability resulting from government environment, technology, economic and urban form policies and investments – occurring at all three levels of government in Canada. […]

This proposed project will investigate the failure modes of platinum-rare earth element alloy catalysts for hydrogen fuel cells. These alloys are the current state-of-the-art catalysts in terms of durability for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), yet due to their recent discovery are lacking important studies to understand their degradation under working conditions. These types […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

This project is designed to look at the effects, and potential impacts of various forest harvest treatments on wildlife use, with a focus on moose, within the McLeod Lake Indian Band Traditional Territory, located north of Prince George, BC. This project will examine wildlife species and their use of the various treatments, plant abundance, diversity […]
