Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. One of the main ways to remove cancer cell is targeting them using beta and alpha particle radiation. These kinds of radiations can be reached to the cancer sites by attaching them to special drugs that have specific binding sites on their cells. However, there is no […]

One key stumbling block to the success of health care systems has been their adoption and use by health care. This study will employ the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as the basis for determining what predicts health care professionals’ acceptance and perceived effective use of Oculys’ DSS. It is the […]

Brain injury, a leading cause of disability worldwide, affects a person’s mind and body. After injury, the brain needs more oxygen to begin recovery, which can result in a problematic process called “oxidative stress”. This research tests if training your brain with a video game, NeuroTracker, reduces oxidative stress, and improves brain injury-related outcomes. The […]

This project seeks to understand the appropriateness and applicability of restorative justice processes in preventing and responding to situations of hate and radicalization to violence, with consideration for how restorative justice might complement existing de-radicalization/violence prevention and response programs, while also not causing further harm. Through a synthesis of existing literature, this research project will […]

SFU will be collaborating with partners of a supercluster on the Continuous Connected Patient Care (CCPC) Platform, which is being developed to provide safe, responsive, and high-quality outpatient care at home. We will be working directly with our partner, Medtronic Canada. SFU’s will focus on the research, development, and testing of medical grade wearable sensor […]

Please conduct feasibility study on purchasing Parkdale school. We may have the opportunity to purchase the buy the school in the near future. We may be able to get the school for no cost as through and act of reconciliation, but we may also have to buy it outright. It is an older building and […]

Development of a user-friendly protocol for soil conservation and management on construction sites in the Bow Valley (Canmore, Banff and Bighorn). The protocol could be a reference for other provinces; the proposed practices could fit different types of actors in the construction industry, and the soil could be used for other valuable purposes.

This research aims to enhance the 3-Prong Approach to Psychedelic-assisted Therapy (PAT) Learning System hosted between Vancouver Island University’s (VIU) and Roots to Thrive (RTT) PAT service delivery. The program consists of four parallel research programs, each led by one of the interns, that will benefit the partner organization to: 1) Design a quality system […]

Canada’s rapidly ageing population has drawn attention to the housing and care needs of older adults. Supporting older Canadians to age in the right place will require innovative housing models and infrastructure that can support their independence, safety, health and social well- being. One such model is Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs), which integrate health, […]

The lack of correspondence between the clinic setting and real world listening environments may explain, in part, why hearing instruments optimized in the clinic often result in poor adherence of hearing instruments in everyday life. To address the disconnect between communication in everyday listening situations where talkers often speak with emotion and audiology clinics where […]

High blood pressure leads to stroke, heart attacks and heart failure. Despite a century of research, the target blood pressure is still a matter of debate. This limitation is likely related to the oversimplification of the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Using novel biomarkers of blood pressure and mechanical properties of the arterial system, we […]
