Innovation and application of energy-economy-emissions models

The goal for this project is to support the research of three master’s students whose work would help advance the methods for estimating – using energy-economy-emissions models – the likely emissions, economic and equity impacts of GHG-reducing policies by governments at three levels in Canada: federal, provincial-territorial, municipal. The modelling innovations and applications from these […]

Structure-Activity Relationships of Hafnium Dioxide Nanoparticles for Cancer Radiotherapy and Imaging

Nanoparticles made from hafnium dioxide (hafnia; HfO2) have emerged as a potential enhancer of cancer radiation therapy. Such nanoparticles allow for reduced doses of radiation to be used on tumors, sparing healthy tissue from side effects without reducing its anti-cancer effects. However, despite their potential, it is not yet known how different nanoparticle properties, such […]

Design and Evaluation of Novel Histone Deacetylase 6 Inhibitors for Therapeutic Applications in Medulloblastoma and Glioblastoma

Brain cancers represent one of the most aggressive tumors that are especially challenging to treat through drugs, partially due to the inherent protection by the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, developing drugs that have specific chemical properties that allow them to cross the blood-brain-barrier, while simultaneously retaining their drug-like features is a heavily sought-after approach in treating […]
