Brain disorders affect 10% of Canadians, however few treatment options exist for these devastating diseases. We have extensive understanding of what causes many of them, but current medical technology has yet to translate this knowledge into effective treatments. For example, many natural proteins have been identified to hold significant therapeutic promise, but getting these proteins […]

In response to heart injury, blood vessels throughout the body constrict. While this response maintains blood pressure, it strains an already injured heart. Reducing blood vessel constriction after heart injury, therefore, is beneficial. Current medications do not target the root cause of the blood vessel constriction. We have identified keys parts of a signalling complex […]

Mental disorders can have negative impacts on people’s health, quality of life, relationships, and productivity. However, people who are in need of mental health and addiction services encounter significant challenges, including timely access to mental health services. As a result, clients’ mental health needs are not met or not fully met, and their health will […]

The BioWater development project will encompass the design, development, fabrication, and validation test of a real-time online pathogen detection analyzer prototype for wastewater. The current development of the prototype BioWater analyzer will focus on (but is not limited to) the detection of the Legionella pneumophila in wastewater from Ontario wastewater treatment facilities (OCWA). CEM Specialties […]

Climate change is increasing the spread of bacterial infectious diseases worldwide. Infection causes up to 3 million deaths in newborns in their first month of life every year, a critical period of development.1 External stressors such as malnutrition during pregnancy can impact development of the newborns immune system and their susceptibility to infection for their […]

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) accounts for 60-80% of cases of dementia in people over 65 years of age and affects over 50 million people worldwide and is expected to affect at least 150 million by 2050. Three risk genes, that were identified with strong association with late onset AD, are the topic of this research study […]

We develop a real-time salmon monitoring system and web application that includes automated counting using computer vision technologies, lowering our partner’s technician resources in performing manual counting. We will deploy the monitoring system in at least nine river locations with small computer hardware capable of deep learning acceleration to run the automated counting system in […]

The project will develop an A.I. based model and framework to predict water quality conditions in lakes and/or larger streams using satellite imagery. The approach will be generalized and automated so that it can be easily applied to quantify water quality for water bodies in various regions within Canada. Models will be trained using government […]

The proposed research will develop novel distributed machine learning techniques for stable resource allocation and improving traffic estimation in networks. It is a well-known fact that networks are becoming complex and user demand is growing in many directions including the traditional demand for capacity and less delay, as well as improvements in Quality of Experience […]

Mixed Reality (MR) allows the display of virtual content, for instance with holograms, that can merge to variable degrees with the physical environment of a user by taking into account the context and topology of the user’s environment. By its mobile, spatial and context-aware nature, MR allows to interact with virtual content with new interaction […]
