The Arctic is entering a digital age where web-based media acts as one of the main drivers behind ideologies and action, both in the north and beyond. In order to ensure that Arctic stories are driven by Arctic creators, northern youth are searching for opportunities to enter this journalistic space. To support their mission, the […]

In the modern world people want fast access to the right data at the right time. The facilitator of this data transmission and interconnection is the internet. People are sending and receiving data through their different devices. In this so called ubiquitous era service providers are moving from in shop servers to cloud environments and […]

While promoting the destruction of the majority of tumour cells, chemotherapy treatment in cancer patients also permits chemo-resistant, senescent tumour cells to survive. Such senescent cells can live off dead tumour cells during and after chemotherapy. They can then form new tumours, resulting in disease progression. We have recently observed that chemotherapy treatment also induces […]

Les amphibiens sont la classe animale la plus en danger d’extinction, notamment à cause de maladies émergentes qui se propagent sur tous les continents, en partie à cause du commerce exotique des espèces. Il semble cependant que les bactéries vivant à la surface de leur peau (le microbiome cutané) leur confèrent une certaine résistance face […]

Ribosome biosynthesis is one of the most multifaceted and energy-demanding processes in biology. It involves over 250 factors that transiently associate with the nascent pre-ribosome in a well-orchestrated manner. Importantly, increased ribosome biogenesis has a critical role in cancer initiation and progression. Owing to the advances in cryo-electron microscopy, this pathway’s detailed mechanism started to […]

In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, contact tracing has been found an effective measure to mitigate the spread of the corresponding SARS-CoV-2 virus. The aim of contact tracing is to identify, notify and potentially quarantine persons who have been in close contact with infected individuals, thereby breaking the chain of infections. Next to manual […]

Yukon River Chinook salmon have experienced devastating declines in recent years, leading to significant impacts on Yukon First Nation citizens. To address this growing conservation issue, we have collaborated with Yukon First Nations to understand their desires for improving salmon conservation capacity, and how we can support them in this endeavour. Together, we have identified […]

The physico-chemical processes of coagulation, flocculation, clarification, and filtration, collectively referred to as “chemically-assisted filtration” (CAF), are integral to resilient drinking water treatment—their use to ensure the provision of safe drinking water is therefore a regulatory requirement across North America. Treatment credits are assigned based on achievement of filtered water turbidity targets. Recent work has […]

Evaluating the impact of recreational cannabis legalization on Canadian public health is critical. The proposed project will focus on the cannabis legal market in the three years post-legalization in Canada (2019-2021). I will examine five aspects of the legal market: 1) how much money was spent in the legal market; 2) prices of cannabis and […]
