High-Affinity Selective DNA Intercalators (HASDI): A novel approach to interfere with the transcriptional activity of disease-causing transcription factors

Cancer is a complex disease that involves multiple changes in normal cell biology, all of them leading to increased and abnormal cell replication. Depending on the tissue type, this uncontrolled tissue growth ultimately causes organ malfunction and a wide variety of signs and symptoms which, all together, indicate a pathological state which needs to be […]

Enhancing TMJ Disorder Diagnosis via AI-Assisted Segmentation

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is an umbrella term for diseases that affect the jaw. It is a common but often underdiagnosed condition that can cause significant jaw pain, limited movement, and long-term oral health issues. Accurate diagnosis relies heavily on the precise identification of tiny jaw structures in medical imaging, a task that remains challenging […]

Smarter Imaging for Everyone: Adapting AI-Based Diffusion MRI Analysis to Low-Field Scanners

This project tackles a major challenge in modern brain imaging: advanced techniques like diffusion MRI and tractography are powerful tools for studying conditions such as multiple sclerosis, dementia, and brain cancer, but they rely on expensive, high-resolution scanners that are often unavailable in routine clinical settings—especially in underserved or rural communities. These methods also struggle […]

Web-based Goal Management Training™ in older adults with cognitive impairment: a randomized-controlled trial examining feasibility and efficacy

As the Canadian population is aging, more and more Canadians will show cognitive decline. Aging and certain types of neurological disorders is often associated with deficits in executive functions: goal maintenance, planning, task switching and attention. These functions are critical for the maintenance of functional independence. Few validated rehabilitation approaches for these types of deficits […]
