The principal objective of this proposal is to discover novel drugs to treat colon cancers. Currently colon cancer is a huge medical problem and there are many disadvantages to current drug therapies. These disadvantages include their ineffectiveness to completely eradicate cancers, causing toxic side effects and the development of multidrug resistance. A group of compounds […]

Feminization of agriculture is occurring in China through the rural-urban migration of labor, predominantly men. This phenomenon raises the question: Does women’s increasing participation in farming affect their capacity and power in decision-making regarding agricultural production and their rural livelihood? While little research has been done to address this issue due to the measurement challenges, […]

In recent years, the advancement of Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized technology and the way we use and interact with things online.

The USask biobank currently specializes in oncology specimen collection. We cover all steps from biospecimen sample collection (biopsy, tissue, blood and ascites fluids), processing, quality control and storage. We also coordinate new release samples for the USask and Pan-Canadian project research teams. All patient data, samples and associated data must be captured, traceable and updated […]

We will be looking at the feasibility and acceptability of a healing program that incorporates Ketamine medicine sessions with First Nations healing practices. The intern will be helping give surveys to the participants. The partner organization will benefit by learning how they can improve the program, and the intern will benefit by gaining experience in […]

The proposed project focuses on using Time-Resolved X-ray Solution Scattering (TR-XSS), an advanced technique for studying fast molecular changes in DNA nanostructures. By capturing real-time structural changes when these nanostructures are exposed to environmental stimuli like laser pulses. The project aims to improve our understanding of their stability and dynamic behavior. This project will provide […]

This Mitacs project focuses on evaluating the potential of adapting the novel Hydrothermal Carbonization technology as a suitable waste-to-energy (WtE) technology for various regions. A review of relevant literature has revealed that there is little to no research or comparative study conducted to identify the optimal conditions for energy recovery using the new Hydrothermal Carbonization […]

The mining sector plays a significant role in GHG emissions, contributing to climate change and environmental degradation.
