The methods for screening complex biological samples found wide application in pharmaceutics, forensic science and medical science. The majority of these methods involve several analytical techniques coupled together in order to maximize the efficiency of the analysis. For example, the combination of Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) with Mass Spectrometry (MS) creates a new analytical platform (CE-MS) […]

Children and youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have severe impairments in social competency, which can negatively impact quality of life, academic achievement, peer acceptance, and mental health. Social skills interventions aim to teach youth the social interaction skills necessary to build and foster relationships with others, and are critical for addressing bullying and associated […]

The spread of endemic and emerging infectious diseases continues to plague the dairy industry. The convergence of human, animal, and ecosystem interactions results in emergence and re-emergence of diseases in dairy cattle such as salmonellosis and anaplasmosis. Adding to the mix, frequent buying of cattle contributes to rapid dissemination of infectious diseases in dairy cattle. […]

Recently, a new whole-body PET/MRI scanner was developed and installed at St. Joseph’s Healthcare in London, Ontario and remains the only installation in Canada. Two major challenges concerning PET imaging include the need for correcting for loss of photons, called attenuation, due to interactions with patient tissues and the impact of respiratory induced organ/tumour motion […]

Covid-19 has impeded many brick-and-mortar businesses, especially the SMEs in Northwest Ontario. The challenging environment calls for change in the business practice to respond to the impact and rejuvenate businesses. Going online is one of the possible solutions supported by technology and market readiness for those businesses. Digital Main Street (DMS), a program and service […]

We’re looking for someone that likes to figure things out! Your mission will be to test and execute activities that increasingly connect users and companies in our platform through marketing and business development techniques. Example activities include but are not limited to: developing and executing innovative ways to launch new task-based challenges (on social media […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed how services at NorWest are delivered. To decrease the risk of transmitting the virus to either patients or health care workers within their practice, providers are, when possible, converting in-person visits to telemedicine visits. Many patients are also avoiding visits because they do not want to leave their homes […]

This research project is being undertaken in partnership with Lakehead University and Superior Strategies, a small private and Indigenous-owned company based in Northwestern Ontario. The outcome of this project seeks to deliver a strategic plan using a research- and solution-based approach to not only address the impacts that COVID-19 has had upon the business, but […]

Tritium, the only radioactive isotope of hydrogen, is routinely released to the air by nuclear industry. It can later be deposited in soils or taken up by plants, usually in the form of water. Though current levels are not inherently dangerous to humans, understanding how tritium evolves is critical to generating effective regulatory policies that […]

Canadians spend a lot of time worrying about personal finances, investing and planning for the future. Sound strategies for managing and building wealth have a real impact on financial outcomes, however, navigating financial, estate and tax planning is difficult and many key pieces are easily overlooked. Current solutions focus too narrowly on retirement or rely […]

‘Low-Carbon Fuels’ refer to fuels produced from biological and waste resources with lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuels. This project, supported by Suncor and performed at Ryerson University, aims to explore the use of innovative biocatalytic and catalytic processes to produce drop-in ligno-biojet fuel from lignin. A single biochemical step will be utilized […]
