This research will be a multi-centre project to investigate the effects of medical cannabis, i.e., cannabinoid formulations, on their neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties for concussion. We hypothesis that our CBD formulation can be used safely on a daily basis and will help to reduce the number and severity of concussions during contact sport competition. We […]

In order to develop resilience-based earthquake civil infrastructures, a new seismic control system using shape memory alloy (SMA) elements is designed to implement into these structures. Such systems can improve the dynamic behavior of the civil infrastructures and provide their stability under seismic loads by dissipation of the energy, having the self-centering ability, high-deformability, and […]

Since this frog is very endangered, a conservation program is in action to save this species […]

Treatments empowering patient’s own immune system (immunotherapy) have revolutionized cancer treatment this last decade, showing substantial clinical activity in different tumor types. However, 60% of cancer patients still fail to respond to immunotherapy and other standard of care. Our laboratory recently identified the proteinase receptor 2as a new target to overcome immunotherapy resistance. We propose […]

Conventional organic waste disposal adapts a linear waste-to-discharge treatment strategy, wasting the vast amount of resources and energy embedded in organic waste. With our innovative reactor design and operation, we have demonstrated significantly increased energy and resources recovery efficiencies under loading rates higher (2 times) than reported. Our products feature high flexibility and easy operation/maintenance, […]
