The research aims to identify key viral proteins through comprehensive genome analysis of plant viruses including soybean viruses, and to engineer virus vectors capable of modulating host gene expression. Specifically, the study will focus on developing a technology for targeted delivery of the CRISPR/Cas system into soybean cells with enhanced efficiency.

This project will be used to help develop tools for modelling how we control and optimize the size of bubbles that are needed in some industrial reactors. The current application is related to on-going work that is helping to reduce the energy needed to produce existing carbon-based fuels, but is also applicable to aquaculture, bioreactors, […]

The brain’s 100 billion neurons communicate through the release of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators across small junctions (synapses). The last two decades have seen remarkable advances in understanding the role of such molecules in the nervous system. Amino acids such as D-serine, are now recognized as a vital neuromodulators for synaptic plasticity but also for their […]

L’objectif du stage est d’étudier la dynamique évolutive des gènes de Vertébrés à court terme et de la comparer à celle de substitution, afin de comprendre les forces évolutives et non évolutives modulant la structure de ces gènes. En particulier, comprendre les forces modulant le taux de Guanine-Cytosine en amont et en aval dans le […]

“Kuwentong Pamamahay” (loosely translated as “Stories of Home-Making”) is an oral storytelling project that conveys intangible heritage values that draw on the specific living cultural experience, social histories and conditions of Vancouver’s Filipino Canadian community. Pamamahay is a Tagalog word for making both a physical and social space feel like home. The project presents unique […]

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. Current prevention strategies are generalized and have shown limited effect on reducing the burden of breast cancer on a population level; therefore, there is a critical need for more targeted and personalized prevention strategies. As estrogen is a causal factor in breast cancer development, our current […]

The project focuses on developing a comprehensive core curriculum on anti-racism pedagogy tailored for faculty and educator development in medical and public health fields. This curriculum, emphasizing evidence-based practices, will provide practical guidance and strategies to effectively teach anti-racism and Black health, fostering inclusive learning environments. Led by the Black Health Education Collaborative (BHEC), this […]

As a response to the rapidly increased crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, this research aims to conduct a holistic evaluation of nature’s contributions to life (NCL) within the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere (NEB). By recognizing the limitations and narrow scope of ecosystem services assessments, this research proposes using a Two-Eyed seeing perspective to comprehensively […]

Le Laboratoire d’Organogénèse Expérimentale (LOEX) a développé une technique alternative unique et innovante appelée auto-assemblage. Sur la base de cette technique éprouvée, notre équipe a développé une gamme de tissus génito-urinaires (vessie, uretère et urètre et vagin) présentant une organisation histologique très similaire au tissu natif et une très bonne résistance mécanique. Des tissus urétraux […]

La thermoception consiste à détecter les changements de température ambiante et provoque des réponses volontaires et involontaires adaptatives, cruciales pour notre survie et notre bien-être. Les neurones de la moelle épinière reçoivent l’entrée des afférences primaires thermosensibles, modulent et intègrent le signal avant de l’envoyer au cerveau pour qu’il y soit décodé pour générer une […]

Avec le réchauffement climatique et les objectifs de réduction des émissions de CO2 à zéro d’ici à 2050, la transition vers l’utilisation de sources d’énergie propres est devenue une réalité incontournable. Le photovoltaïque organique (OPV), développé récemment, s’avère être une excellente alternative vers des matériaux durables et des procédés écologiques. Toutefois, ces cellules sont construites […]
