This project will focus on the prevention of ACL injuries with a proper 8 week program based on scientific research to date. The goal is to target basketball and soccer athletes to reduce the number of injuries that are occurring in this population with proper flexibility, strength, agility and rest combined.

Individuals suffering from sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea, exhibit moderate to excessive snoring which is often ignored or neglected. This neglect can increase the risk of more severe health problems such as stroke, hypertension, chronic heart failure, diabetes, and many others. Moreover, an Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) episode – characterized by periodic and […]

With the advances of medical imaging, cardiac images have posed great challenges in processing and analysis due to the large amount of data generated. Dynamic Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images, also referred to as 4D (3D+time) imaging, for example, have great capacity for screening, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiac diseases. […]

Urban areas will be some of the most complex and important sites of resilience planning in the 21st century. Despite notable efforts, best practices for how local and municipal governments set goals and track progress toward resilience have yet to be established or widely agreed upon. The City of Toronto seeks input into the development […]

Les déficiences visuelles, dues à des lésions cérébrales, touchent les nouveau-nés et les personnes âgées des pays industrialisés, en raison de l’allongement de la vie. Ce projet de recherche va utiliser la souris pour étudier la récupération des fonctions visuelles après un AVC. Il va explorer les modifications neuronales et de connectivité grâce à des […]

Infections, caused by the Candida species have emerged as a significant global health concern. These diseases can range from superficial to life-threatening, affecting various body parts. However, the effective management of Candida infections is increasingly challenged by the growing issue of drug resistance.Focusing on that problem, our research project aims to investigate the antifungal properties […]

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe way to non-invasively probe the body, particularly for imaging soft tissues. In Canada, MRI use is growing, but there’s a concern with people who have medical devices inside them, as the strong magnets used in MRI could cause problems for these devices. Doctors are interested in using MRI […]

Healthcare providers spend more and more time in front of computer screens reviewing notes and searching for information, and less and less time developing meaningful relationships with patients. Emerging technologies like ChatGPT may be able to reverse this dynamic and free up clinicians’ time and reduce wait times for patients. This project will assess the […]

Over the last decade, there has been a growing literature on “brain plasticity” and the role of computer based games for brain health improvement. Most of the focus has been on healthy older adults. While there has been pharmacologic treatment available for dementia for decades, there is no accepted standard treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment […]

Following hospitalization, many patients do not return to their pre-hospitalization level of health. In older patients, the time spent in a hospital bed leads to mobility impairments. We propose to use wearable sensing device to register the time spent by hospitalized older adults in the bed and walking. This information will help to better identify […]

As the conservation sector moves forward to support Canada’s international commitments to protect the environment and honour Indigenous rights, there is increasing interest in pairing Indigenous with mainstream knowledges. Etuaptmumk, or Two-Eyed Seeing in Mi’kmaw as introduced by Elder Albert Marshall, offers a way to do this by leveraging the strengths of both indigenous and […]
