As an important medicinal plant, Cannabis sativa produces bioactive molecules that provide symptom relief for conditions such as severe cancer pain, nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy. The cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway that generates bioactive molecules has been studied for over a decade. However, understanding of transcriptional regulators that control cannabinoid synthesis is fairly limited. The […]

This research project will explore how to make augmented reality (AR) tools more accurate and easier to use in steel fabrication workshops. The intern will work with Eterio Realities Inc., a Canadian company that created FabStation. This AR system helps workers see 3D digital models overlaid on steel parts to guide their work. Currently, FabStation […]

STEMCELL Technologies is a rapidly growing Vancouver-based Canadian biotech company with more than 500 employees and annual sales of more than $80M worldwide primarily serving the burgeoning stem cell field. Blood stem cells were one of the first type of stem cell to be identified and have been used clinically for many transplantation applications for […]

Indigenous peoples on the northwest coast have modified marine and coastal ecosystems to enhance food resources, shaping both local biodiversity and ecosystem structure since Time Immemorial. Forest Gardens near villages enhance food plant abundance and diversity, while Clam Gardens and managed clam beds improve clam productivity in the intertidal zone. Today these sites remain vital […]

Antibodies are biomolecules naturally produced by immune cells, called antibody-secreting cells, to protect against infection and diseases. Each antibody-secreting cell makes a unique type of antibody that binds specifically to a target molecule. A major challenge in developing antibody therapeutics is selecting the most effective antibodies from the billions produced within any given host. Our […]

We aim to enhance AI learning of MR images by providing scans of the pectoralis major, deltoid, and gluteus maximus from young healthy adults to Deep Anatomical Federated Network (DAFNE). DAFNE is a decentralized AI software that improves over time through user refinement. Machine Learning (ML) models enable faster automated analysis, distinguishing anatomical structures and […]

This project investigates the workplace experiences of Inuit frontline mental health workers in Nunavut, where systemic barriers and high suicide rates underscore the need for culturally grounded care. Despite their vital role, Inuit workers often face burnout, racism, and insufficient support. Through partnerships with local organizations, this study will interview Inuit mental health professionals to […]

This project focuses on launching a new Orange Shirt Day book to mark a historic milestone in 2026, signaling the first graduating class of students who have participated in Orange Shirt Day throughout their entire K-12 education. Medicine Wheel Publishing is collaborating with the Orange Shirt Society to create a meaningful book that highlights stories […]

Rabbits are increasingly recognized for their superior immune response to antigens and their ability to generate highaffinity monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that can be used as reagents, diagnostics and therapeutics. However, methods for the discovery of rabbit mAbs are limited and extremely cumbersome. This proposal aims at developing a rapid and robust microfluidic-based approach to generate […]
