The Sorensen laboratory-based Childhood Cancer Research Program is specifically focused on elucidating the genetic and biological determinants of the metastatic process in childhood cancer. Metastatic disease remains the single most dominant driver of adverse outcome in most childhood cancers, particularly in childhood sarcomas. Cancer stem cells, malignant cells that share many characteristics with normal stem […]

We need to improve our onboarding process and online sales ResponsiveAds is building a new SaaS-based business model and would like the strategic analysis of the overall business plan modeling […]

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease characterized by recurrent collapse of the airway during sleep leading to sleep fragmentation and daytime sleepiness. OSA is usually diagnosed based on an overnight sleep study (polysomnogram) which collects detailed physiologic information over the night. OSA patients are also at increased risk of cardiovascular disease such as […]

Glycosidases are an ubiquitous class of proteins (enzymes) which catalyses the hydrolysis of glycoconjugates, and are involved in many physiological processes. However, despite the tremendous potential of glycosidases for both therapeutical and industrial applications, function and structure of the vast majority of glycosidases remains to explore. The main goal of the project is to develop […]

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), located in the knee, is commonly injured during sports. Patients who experience ACL tears often delay or choose to forgo surgery, which can reduce knee stability and alter movement patterns. Knee bracing is a commonly used treatment method to stabilize the knee. A novel method of knee bracing has been […]

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to limit the impacts of climate change requires implementation of CO2 reduction technologies across a wide variety of industries. This research project will develop carbon management and sequestration technologies for reducing CO2 emissions in the mining industry with a focus on diamond mines in Canada, South Africa and Botswana. The […]

Perhaps one of the most tantalizing goals of a coach or trainer is to determine how best to maximize athlete performance. In recent years there has been an explosion in the wealth of data related to athlete training and performance – such as a better understanding of athlete mental health and the impact it has […]

The White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) population in the lower Columbia River was listed as endangered under the Species at Risk Act in 2006. Natural recruitment failure has occurred since the 1970s, with regular spawning occurring but insufficient numbers of viable offspring reaching juvenile stage to sustain the population. A recovery strategy has included the establishment […]

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) play a critical role in the electrification of the transportation industry. Despite many recent advancements in lithium ion chemistry at the cell-level, prediction of battery system lifetime remains a challenge at the system-level. Corvus Energy is the world’s leading supplier of safe, innovative, and reliable energy storage solutions for all […]
