Research into wearable systems, functional nanomaterials, 3D printing, flexible microfluidics, and commercial thermoplastic polymer (TP) microfluidics, is reported daily. However, much of this research is hindered by difficulties in integrating structures, devices, and systems realized using different materials platforms. While polymers such as SU-8 and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are popular with academics, TPs such as optically […]

Infectious diseases from a variety of pathogens can lead to serious health conditions such as sepsis. To improve the prognosis and decrease the mortality rate of infectious diseases, point-of-care testing (POCT) of blood biomarkers is a critical approach. Testing of biomarkers such as C-reactive protein, IL-6 and procalcitonin could help identify the type of pathogen […]

Recent scientific breakthroughs have led to the development of methods to differentiate human PSCs (hPSCs) into skeletal muscle cells. This has allowed, for the first time, the development of cellular models to study muscle diseases such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and the possibility to utilize these cells for cell therapy applications. However, the reliability, efficiency […]

Business-to-business (B2B) marketing is considerably different from the business-to-consumer (B2C) marketing. Marketing strategies do not necessarily translate from one segment to another. This is evident in the social media/online marketing arena where many of the strategies and tools have been developed primarily for B2C marketing which results in many B2B companies dismissing social media/online marketing […]

Our project develops novel machine learning algorithms for interpreting complex, multi-agent scenarios in sports analytics. The collaboration with our industrial partner SPORTLOGiQ will tackle open problems in deep reinforcement learning to build novel capabilities in sports analytics for ice hockey. Deep reinforcement learning is a breakthrough technology with prominent successes in games such as Go […]

E training and development has been repeatedly identified in studies to be a major contributor to corporate financial performance. Large enterprises maintain dedicated training departments, while a vast array of consultants and corporate education companies exist to help small and medium sized enterprises. At the same time, choosing the right corporate training is difficult, and […]

The project looks at the Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank to consider how the redevelopment of the existing network can promote opportunities for more integrated community development and cohabitation, while also improving access to food for vulnerable populations. The proposed method is to study the operations of the food banks by analyzing existing and new data, […]

La prescription de médicaments en pédiatrie et particulièrement en néonatologie est un versant délicat de la pratique quotidienne. En effet, les données sur la sécurité d’emploi et les effets de nombreux traitements utilisés chez le nouveau-né demeurent insuffisantes. Dû à l’absence d’alternative thérapeutique, la plupart des molécules sont utilisées en dehors de leur recommandation officielle […]

In an era where the costs of policing are constantly under scrutiny, the time has come for policing organizations to re-evaluate the services they provide. To do this, these organizations need to answer questions relating to the value these services create in the communities they serve and change the focus of the conversation from “what […]

A new therapy was developed in order to combat cancers by stimulating our immune system to fight agents the cancer cells in the body. The activated immune system is more efficient to fight the cancer cells than the common drugs, but stimulating the immune system is very expensive and labour-intensive with the currently developed protocols. […]

This research proposal aims to verify the effect of hearing loss on the social participation of Brazilian and Canadian elderly, and, in addition, this study intends to understand which personal and environmental factors influence the social participation of these participants. Will be recruited in a clinical-school of Speech Therapy accredited to SUS, located in the […]
