Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease impacting the nervous system and resulting in a wide range of symptoms including characteristic motor impairments such as tremor, slowed movement and muscle rigidity. It is an age-related disease affecting 1% of the population over the age of 60. Although symptomatic treatments are available, there are no […]

The aim of the project is to develop microfluidic technologies to analyse heterogenous tumor tissues/cells via a multi-modal approach using spatial genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data. The resulting data obtained could be used for prognostics, diagnostics and prediction of therapies. Microfluidic scanning probes (MFP) technology, invented by the Kaigala team while at IBM Research in […]

Communication between cells that make up our body is essential. It is required to ensure that our body functions accurately during our lifetime. Failure for cells to send, to receive or to correctly understand signals may lead to problems such as cancer. The cellular actors responsible for such signals are called proteins. Most, if not […]

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a debilitating condition that can result in neurocognitive impairments, affecting areas of memory, executive functioning, and behavioral regulation. Often, symptoms are diffuse and heterogenous, making rehabilitation efforts difficult to implement. Moreover, risk factors can impact the trajectory of one’s recovery, including personality traits and behavioral control. Given the influence these […]

Mosquito bites are responsible for spreading diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, and dengue that account for over one million deaths per year. To mitigate the spread, insecticides and repellents are heavily used. However, studies show mosquitoes are developing resistances, escalating the need for alternative solutions. It is proposed here to investigate a new approach […]

Health care providers perform ultrasound exams to see a patient’s internal physiology (e.g., organs). Point of care ultrasound (PoCUS) refers to ultrasound exams performed at the bedside by a physician not specialized in imaging. PoCUS use by general practitioners is increasing, including in rural British Columbia (BC). Rural PoCUS has the potential to improve the […]

L’étudiant effectuera des recherches en laboratoire pour la détection de marqueurs d’inflammation. Il utilisera la résonance plasmonique de surface pour développer des capteurs pour les protéines associées à l’inflammation.

Healthy Active Learning (HAL) is a government wellbeing Initiative. It has been designed to promote and improve healthy eating and physical activity in 800 schools, Kura and early learning services across New Zealand. The student intern will help collect data by visiting primary and intermediate schools (children aged 5-13 years) throughout select regions of New […]

Family caregivers are an essential component of care for young adults with severe mental illness including psychosis. While their involvement improves outcomes in multiple modalities, family caregivers are often overwhelmed with the care of their loved one. Currently, there are not enough resources for family caregivers of young people with severe mental illnesses. The study […]

We have developed a natural product acaricide that is based on balsam fir (Abies balsamea) essential oil. The product kills overwintering ticks. It is designed to be applied to lawns, gardens and municipal parks in the late fall to kill ticks over the winter. The purpose of this project is to complete testing under semi-natural […]
