Appleby College is in the early stages of developing its AI learning and training program for high-school-age students. The program aims to provide students an interactive platform focusing on AI literacy and competency. AI technology is a trending domain incorporated in every aspect of life. Therefore, ensuring that students understand AI at an earlier age […]

The proposed project aims to study how a novel microRNA can improve heart muscle function in patients with heart failure. This microRNA helps heart muscle cells relax better, which is a key issue in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). By combining the biophysics expertise and force measurements techniques developed at McGill […]

Electrifying the chemical industry is a necessity towards a more sustainable future. A potential approach to achieve this ambitious goal, is the use of plasma catalysis. Herein, a plasma is generated by applying a high voltage to generate a discharge in the gas mixture of interest. In the same volume, catalysts can be packed to […]

Organ fibrosis contributes to the top 10 causes of death in Canada, affects >6.5M North Americans, consumes >$25 billion in global healthcare expenses, and is a major burden for patients, families, and our society. One of the main signals driving fibrosis is persistent and excessive production of the growth factor TGF-beta. The Hinz lab identified […]

Research Question: How does ER-remodelling affect plastid morphology? The project focuses on unveiling the relationship between the plastid and ER by investigating novel proteins that seem to mediate the contact between both cellular compartments. Besides investigating the possible bridge between organelles key players changing plastid morphological aspects will be analysed in depth to understand if […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

The proposed project aims to examine how the non-verbal communication of central bank policymakers, as well as how the media interprets and disseminates this communication, impact financial markets and public opinion. Focusing on communications from the Federal Reserve and Bank of Canada, the research will explore how various groups, including traders and journalists, interpret and […]

With the increasing global demand for minerals and metals, environmental and social harms caused by extractive industries will worsen unless the sector is paid careful attention to. Resource-use decisions are shaped by political economy forces that often lead to degradation of the local environment. The sector has also threatened the survival of marginalised communities and […]

FluidPlanet.org is a site that hosts digital twins for use in education, entertainment and enterprise. We work with university and college students to produce and publish simulations of real world places.

This project, through the development of designs for the Toronto Centre of Learning and Development, aims to create products as well as educational tools. The specific product designs developed during this period can act as a launch point for social enterprise that could be taken direct to market, or used as a foundation to further […]

In an innovative collaboration, Ubilab at Waterloo University and the eBioMed platform at BMBI have developed a sustainable technological system to support elderly individuals living alone in retirement homes. This project, set to be deployed across six retirement homes in Canada, involves the use of minimal sensors to monitor and analyze the daily activities and […]
