Identification of markers of lithium response in bipolar disorder

Lithium is one of the oldest psychiatric drugs and remains the first-line treatment in the management of bipolar disorder. Studies show that lithium can significantly reduce suicide risk and also help prevent future manic and depressive episodes. As a result, it may be prescribed for long periods of time as maintenance therapy. However, clinical response […]

Photoactivated Cell Migration in 3D-Printed Tissue Scaffolds

The project aims to develop a novel research tool that simulates the cell’s natural 3-dimensional environment, while providing the researcher with dynamic control of said environment. This tool will elicit natural cell responses (ie. In tissue), unlike conventional 2-dimensional cell cultures. The tool will also provide the researcher with precise control over the mechanical/biochemical cues […]

Identifying and validating rational combinatorial therapies for treatment-refractory Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and deadly form of primary brain cancer in adults. After diagnosis, GBM patients undergo standard therapy, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Unfortunately, disease relapse is inevitable and patients face a median survival of less than 15 months. A small population of tumor cells, known as brain tumor initiating cells […]

Digital Manufacturing of 3D Printed Wearable Sensors (D-SENSE)

The Soft Transducers Laboratory (LTMS) focuses on the development of processes to incorporate sensors into 3D printed wearable devices. This includes the design, fabrication and characterization of printed sensors within elastomeric materials (i.e. materials exhibiting elastic, rubber-like properties). This also includes the incorporation of discrete components into the digitally manufactured systems for the implementation of […]
