Single-cell -Omics analysis methods are having a transformational impact on research in the life sciences. Specifically, the capacity to assess genomes, transcriptomes, or proteomes of individual cells in place of (or in addition to) measuring the average signals from populations of cells allows researchers to ask and answer questions that have never been accessible until […]

Les émissions anthropiques de gaz à effet de serre sont les principales responsables des changements climatiques en cours. Ainsi, les industries se doivent de mesurer et contrôler leurs émissions afin de réduire leurs impacts sur l’environnement. Les réservoirs créés lors la construction de barrages hydroélectriques relâchent des quantités importantes de CO2 et de CH4 dans […]

Le CHU Sainte-Justine (CHUSJ), spécialisé dans les soins pédiatriques, joue un rôle crucial dans le système de santé du Québec. En tant que plus grand hôpital mère-enfant au Canada, le CHUSJ cherche constamment à être à l’avant-garde des pratiques de gestion en santé. Les défis actuels, accentués par la pandémie de COVID-19, ont créé des […]

Traditional approaches to healthcare in Canada are being transformed by new care models that address key challenges including a shifting tax base, changing consumer expectations, and the disruptive impacts of new technologies. These new care models offer an opportunity to rethink how health care services are designed and delivered. Our partners in the proposed research […]

As the need for pandemic preparedness, assessing cross-infection risks based on the given indoor environmental conditions is crucial for preventing the spread of group infections. The objective of this research project is to analyze cross-infection risks with various types of mechanical ventilation systems in uncertain environments, such as locations and distances of the infector and […]

Despite significant therapeutic advances, the management of type 1 diabetes remains a major challenge, with current modalities unable to achieve, in every patient, optimal blood glucose control, while minimizing complications. Precision Medicine steers away from this ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Precision Medicine aims to understand each child’s health by integrating all the information they share about themselves, […]

Amid the ongoing climate crisis, there’s a surging demand for initiatives that prioritize climate action. Communities are seeking solutions to their environmental challenges that not only allow them to adapt and thrive but also position them as catalysts for change. Non-profit organizations, such as the Biosphere Institute of Bow Valley, play a pivotal role in […]

The proposed research project will review data from CNIB’s survey of attitudes and beliefs of staff who volunteer in the Vision Mates program. The data will be analyzed for thematic qualities as well as for any correlations between attitudes and individual factors. It is important to understand how volunteers see the people with whom they […]

In the last decade, “Conditional Cash Transfers” (CCTs) have spread across Latin America. CCTs involve small, monthly cash transfers to poor families on the condition that children attend school and obtain vaccinations. Studies suggest that these transfers are relatively effective at alleviating extreme poverty. But what are their impacts beyond the material realm? This project […]

This project, a collaborative effort between TU Munich and the University of Calgary, aims to use an innovative electrotactile tongue display system for robotic teleoperation in surgery. In robotic-assisted surgeries, surgeons lack the direct ‘touch’ feedback that traditional surgery offers, often leading to a reliance on visual cues for force application. This gap can affect […]

The objective of this project is to complete a needs assessment and feasibility study and develop a land usage recommendation to SJHC that will best fit within the SJHC Mission to meet the unmet needs within the community. The intern would work through the Blueprints Program utilizing the guidelines and templates that are appropriate to […]

Le suicide est un enjeu majeur de santé publique représentant environ 700 000 décès par an dans le monde. Alors que la prématurité concerne environ 10% des naissances, les études corrélationnelles ont montré des associations inconsistantes entre la prématurité et le risque de suicide. Ainsi, nous ne savons pas si cette relation reflète une conséquence […]
