In this study, we are going to synthesize gold nanoparticles by biological method using Z. officinale and evaluate their antimicrobial activity against antimicrobial resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moreover, we are going to study the synergistic effects of the gold nanoparticles with ceftazidium antibiotic and others with different concentrations against antimicrobial resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates.This area of […]

In Canada, 1 in 7 men are likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing is currently not recommended in Canada as population based screening test. Prostate cancer, like other tumors, disperses tumor cells into circulation. If effectively isolated, molecularly analyzed and characterized, CTCs are potentially a reliable […]

Le présent projet répond à la nécessité de développer des outils visant l’autonomisation et l’amélioration de la santé générale des jeunes atteints de pathologies chroniques. À cet effet, la plateforme Inpowr est un espace web qui permet de jauger son bien-être personnel par l’entremise de questions générales, de se fixer des buts précis, des comportements […]

ARBI (Association for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured) is a non-profit association in Calgary which has been recognized for over 40 years as a pioneer in community-based brain injury rehabilitation. It is unique in Canada for the combination of professional and volunteer services for long-term neurorehabilitation that addresses both the physical and emotional impacts […]

A collaboration between health geographers from Michigan State University and ornithologists from Carleton University, this proposed research project will investigate the factors influencing avian diversity and community composition in Detroit, MI. and the potential relationship between human health and access to biodiversity and nature. The results of this research project will lead to several high-quality […]

Human health is impacted every day by metal contact, ranging from direct contact with metal surfaces to exposure to corrosion by-products, nanoparticles, or ions. The interaction of human proteins with these materials remains poorly understood, but metal-protein contact has been implicated as the cause of many adverse physiological reactions, such as allergies, contact dermatitis, and […]

Our knowledge translation project aims to address knowledge and system gaps and missed opportunities for preventive medicine. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with a higher risk of developing CVD, yet lack of patient and provider awareness and lack of system integration are barriers to providing preventative care and/or early treatment. Our project aims […]

The focus of this two-year research project will be developing an understanding of the organizational culture and other pre-conditions required to facilitate AgeTech adoption and evaluation in the context of a regional health system. The PDF will work closely will technology companies and the health system partners who are piloting innovative technologies to understand the […]

While mountain biking is a sport of growing popularity among adolescents and adults alike, it is also notoriously injurious. Mountain biking is associated with high rates of head injuries, and exposure to sub-concussive head acceleration events. Despite this, limited research has investigated the extent to which mountain biking participation contributes to brain injury and cognitive […]

This proposed research aims to focus on the perspective of newcomers and the organizations that provide direct support to newcomers, and how policies and plans enable or inhibit how readily newcomers can find and secure skills- commensurate employment. It is our intent to make this research as practical as possible for newcomer-serving organizations to design […]

En biologie, tout comme dans le monde des machines mécaniques, la fonction découle de la structure. Dans le domaine biologique, les “machines” sont constituées de protéines. En altérant leur structure, il est possible de leur conférer de nouvelles fonctionnalités. L’entreprise 9Bio combine une expertise de pointe en modélisation IA avec l’ingénierie structurelle biologique pour créer […]
