Machine learning-driven molecular classification of pediatric brain tumors

Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in childhood and are generally categorized as low-grade or high-grade. More granularly however, there can be over 100 types of brain tumors which can vary widely in both prognosis and treatment. Machine learning has increasingly been applied to classify brain tumors and other cancer types but […]

Awareness and Immersion in Small-Group Augmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) allows us to add virtual artifacts into the physical world. For example, we can place a 3D medieval castle onto the floor of a classroom, allowing students to explore it. AR supports collaborative learning since students can all see the same virtual artifact, and can interact using natural gestures like pointing. In […]

Applications of Picard-Lefschetz theory to Cosmology

Picard-Lefchetz theory is a powerful tool for evaluating highly oscillatory integrals that are difficult or impossible to solve using other integration methods. This theory has numerous applications to lensing, quantum mechanics, and high energy physics. In this project, I will investigate using Picad-Lefchetz theory to solve simple lensing problems with the goal of applying these […]

Evaluation of anticancer activity of Shogun black maitake mushroom extract and it’s interaction with chemotherapeutic drugs in in vitro and in vivo models of human cancers.

Natural extracts have potential as anti-cancer therapeutics. Black Maitake mushroom extract (BME) is well tolerated, safe to be given as supplements over long period of time and has been approved from Health Canada for human consumption with NPN number. BME treatment has beneficial effect in patients as immunomodulator. We aim to provide scientific and preclinical […]

High-throughput value added product screening from environmental algal strains

Micro-algae (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) are increasingly used in food production, biotechnology and water treatment. By developing a high throughput screening system for naturally occurring micro-algae strains, we aim to expand the pool of strains available for biotechnology and other applications. We are implementing genomics and analytical tools in our pipeline to obtain detailed information about […]
