The Saskatoon United Way has worked for over sixty years to create change in the city of Saskatoon, making lives better for all city residents. The organization works to change the lives of vulnerable children, youth and their families so they have the means to thrive as strong citizens in the community. They work to […]

We will research and explore ways of tracking user behavior on a mobile application, as well as being able to remotely update the application without having to update program code. Thus we aim to provide developers with tools and options when it comes to customizing their application depending on user behavior and environments. Meanwhile the […]

The Sakitawak Development Corporation (SDC) was incorporated in 1989 by the Northern Village of Ile a la Crosse, in northern Saskatchewan to invest in regional and community businesses across multiple sectors. The organization works to develop social and economic opportunities for the community of Ile a la Crosse and owns several successful businesses and profitable […]

Indigenous Relations – Indigenous Framework We are looking for an intern to help us with communications and research involving the development of an Indigenous Framework for the City of Regina. The majority of the work will center around weaving Indigenous worldviews into the current Western-centric City of Regina polices, practices, programs, and planning.

This project focuses on evaluating habitat quality at two spatial scales: local and landscape. At a local scale, habitat quality will be assessed using body conditions (mass) and demographics (the number of females to juveniles) and vegetation characteristics important to Ord’s kangaroo rats. Assessment of habitat quality at a landscape scale involves using genetic material […]

Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide with more than 1.3 million deaths reported in 2023. With the increase in multidrug resistant cases of TB, it is important for us to develop newer and faster acting drugs to treat TB. In addition, one-quarter of the world’s population carries a latent […]

The University of Saskatchewan (academic supervisor Dr. S. Achenbach), the Canadian Light Source (partner organization science manager Dr. F. He, SyLMAND beamline responsible Dr. T. Morhart), and intern L. Newman engage in a project to innovate microfabrication processes for microfluidic platforms used in chemical and biological reaction chemistry. In such systems, detection and imaging are […]

In cases of reversible inflammation due to dental caries, direct pulp-capping therapies are an attempt to keep the tooth vital. Cell-homing regenerative therapies have been investigated in order to develop new biomaterials for a more successful treatment. Our scaffolds based on chitosan and minerals shows good in vitro results in terms of regenerating mineralized tissues, […]

Teeth loss significantly impacts the quality of life of over 700 million individuals and is commonly addressed with implant-supported prostheses. Dental implants face biological and microbiological challenges, leading to potential infectious diseases and implant loss. Proteins from blood and saliva adhere to implant surfaces, influencing subsequent biological interactions crucial for implant success. These proteins quality […]

A long-standing community-based organization, the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre (SFBLC) started as a temporary project in the summer of 1983. A year later, it was incorporated as a non-profit entity and remains “committed to ensuring a food-secure community where all people have access to safe, affordable, and nutritious food.” The SFBLC currently offers […]

Loin pain-hematuria syndrome (LPHS) is a rare human disease with a reported prevalence of 12 per 100,000. It is predominantly observed in women with the age at symptom onset ranging from the first to sixth decade of life, with most patients being in their late 20s or early 30s. The characteristic features of LPHS are […]

This project proposes a comprehensive analysis of the impact of environmental stress on Antarctic fish, utilizing an integrated approach that combines biophysical and genomic analyses to study adaptation mechanisms. By integrating disciplines, including physics and biology, this research aims to enhance our understanding of evolutionary processes and adaptation strategies of organisms in extreme environments, such […]
