This project focuses on developing a low-cost limb prosthesis tailored to resource-constrained and conflict-affected settings. It leverages open-source designs and additive manufacturing to provide customizable, locally fabricated solutions for individuals with limited access to conventional care. The proposed devices will incorporate 3D-printed components within a parametric design workflow that enables rapid patient-specific customization and scalable […]

This project aims to investigate whether the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis, the etiological agent responsible for the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection worldwide, trichomoniasis, is able to impact the production of small vesicles by cervical cells. In addition, this project also proposes to investigate whether these small vesicles could result in the transformation of […]

MobilitiQ is a Canadian mobility-technology partner developing an AI-enabled, on-demand shared mobility platform that helps public-sector and private operators design, operate, and continuously improve flexible-route/flexible-schedule services. The organization’s core activities include: (i) integrating operational data sources (e.g., AVL/dispatch logs, booking/ride requests, service policies); (ii) building analytics to understand spatio-temporal demand patterns, service reliability, and operational […]

This project focuses on the development and validation of asset-level climate risk modeling frameworks for infrastructure and institutional portfolios. As climate-related hazards intensify, asset owners and financial institutions require forward-looking, decision-grade analytics that quantify physical risk under multiple climate scenarios. The project applies a structured hazard – exposure – vulnerability – loss framework, integrating geospatial […]

The Biodiversity Mapping Project (BMaP) aims to generate refined mapping tools to address key data gaps and improve how lands and habitats are planned for, managed, and protected in the eastern Georgian Bay region. Indigenous communities, municipalities, conservation organizations, and land managers currently rely on land-cover and habitat maps that are outdated or too general […]

This project explores how chemical modifications to DNA and histone proteins influence the 3D structure of the genome during early embryonic development. Working at RIKEN in Japan, Iqra Wardak will learn molecular biology and computational genomics techniques to study how epigenetic marks regulate gene activity and cell identity. The project combines experimental training with analysis […]

This project at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health addresses a defined evidence gap in women’s brain health: despite women comprising roughly two-thirds of Alzheimer’s disease cases, there is limited scalable, person-centred data on how specific menopause symptom patterns and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) exposures relate to cognitive outcomes. In partnership with two major […]

The RBC Patient and Family Learning Space (PFLS) at CAMH provides free mental health, substance use, and recovery information to patients, families, caregivers, and the public. PFLS offers workshops, webinars, easy-to-understand health information, and help with navigating the mental health system. It operates both as a physical space and an online learning hub, working with […]

This project hopes to better understand how land-use planning mechanisms can be reestablished for the benefit of traditional Black lands in the Alto Cauca region of Colombia. Using spatial data derived from community-based research processes, this research hopes to support the development of innovative planning processes aimed to highlight Black land rights in Colombia. This […]
