Le cancer touche en moyenne deux canadiens sur cinq, et chaque personne atteinte du cancer a une chance sur quatre d’en mourir. La recherche contre le cancer est l’une des plus actives dans le monde, et des traitements sont déjà mis à la dispositions des malades. Mais tous les cancers ne sont pas encore curables […]

The New Directions Try program works with youth on a wide scale of risk levels to help them achieve their goals. All the youth in the program have something working against them such as mental or physical disabilities, CPS involvement, and even charges against them and our job is to help set them up for […]

Diabetic foot ulcers are a major complication of diabetes, often leading to serious infections and even limb amputations. These chronic wounds heal poorly due to prolonged inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue damage. This project aims to develop an advanced wound dressing that combines natural and synthetic materials with innovative nanotechnology to improve healing outcomes. The […]

The goal of this project will be to facilitate the commercializations of LuzCornea, a material to help repair corneas for people with poor vision. To do this, a way to make large volumes of LuzCornea material must be developed in order to help as many people as possible with poor vision and to reduce the […]

We are developing a new class of antibiotics to treat udder infections in dairy cows caused by Staphylococcus aureus, a particularly difficult and costly problem for farmers. While udder infections in general cost the Canadian dairy industry over $800?million each year, those caused by S. aureus are especially challenging to treat, often leading to milk […]

The proposed research explores the use of mid-air haptics using ultrasound waves on the dorsal side of the hand, with envisioned applications for the dynamic display of haptic cues while reading embossed braille or tactile graphics.

This project explores food and nutrition security for children with disabilities in schools in Gauteng, South Africa, by working directly with caregivers. It aims to adapt and test a measurement tool that can help understand how well these children’s food needs are being met. By using inclusive communication methods, like Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) […]

Le projet vise à optimiser la production d’un nouvel antibiotique conçu pour traiter les infections du pis chez les vaches, causées par Staphylococcus aureus. Ces infections coûtent très cher à l’industrie laitière et les traitements actuels sont souvent inefficaces ou contrôlés en médecine vétérinaire. Le stagiaire travaillera avec le centre de recherche appliquée Kemitek pour […]

Ce projet permettra à Halpie Technologies d’accélérer la mise en marché d’un dispositif médical novateur, soit un patch thoracique intelligent qui surveille en temps réel les signes vitaux de patients atteints de maladies chroniques comme l’insuffisance cardiaque ou la MPOC. Grâce à cette technologie non invasive, les patients peuvent retourner plus rapidement à domicile après […]

Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) is a protein that is more produced by athletes (muscles) compared to sedentary individuals. We have previously shown that this protein is responsible for some exercise-induced effects, its injections also produce exercise-like effects, and its decrease/absence speeds up ageing. Therefore, SPARC could be an exercise substitute – […]

SFU’s Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi) is SFU’s first research infrastructure developed for the purpose of extending community-engaged research to provincial, national and international communities. As a way to strengthen this infrastructure, this proposal outlines the development of the SFU 312 Main Research Shop in partnership with the Vancity Community Foundation, the operating manager of 312 […]
