For people with mobility impairments, such as spinal cord injury survivors, rehabilitation and at home care settings come with the possibility of costly, painful pressure ulcers and skin breakdown. Occurring at a high frequency, current practice requires constant vigilance by caretakers and individuals using self-management practices. This injury comes from a prolonged application of pressures, […]

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a protein known to be involved in a wide array of cancers. Although there are currently 4 approved HDAC inhibitors to date, these drugs lack the selectivity to only target HDAC6, given its high structural similarities with 10 other HDAC proteins, resulting in severe side-effects in patients such as nausea, […]

Open science is the concept of freely sharing data to the public. With large-scale data becoming more easily accessible to everyone, it is important to create a platform where the public can visit to analyze and interpret data. And although open science increases the accessibility of data and reports to the public, it does not […]

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality internationally. Current CVD diagnostics are limited to basic tools that provide a generalized number without quantitative indication of overall health, such as blood pressure, or lifestyle risk scores. More invasive diagnostic imaging can be done, but at great cost to the healthcare system. We […]

The underlying technology will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze oculomotor (eye movement) data to learn and extract human translatable features/symptoms of concussion. The software is computationally light-weight that is capable of running on portable hardware with minimal computational power. The intern will examine the system’s commercialization by conducting interviews with potential customers and identifying […]

Heme is a naturally occurring molecule found in our blood and as well as in animals, responsible for carrying oxygen throughout our body.

Le dépôt en couches minces de ce matériau trouve différents domaines d’applications tant dans le domaine de la catalyse qu’en électronique ou en optique. Dans cette étude, le matériau sera déposé par pulvérisation cathodique à partir d’une cible de TiO2-x ou de titane […]

Mines generate metal-contaminated wastewater that needs to be cleaned before it can be re-used by the mine or discharged into the environment. There are several ways to remove this metal, but many of these technologies are expensive and require non-renewable materials to work. Biological methods to remove these metals are promising renewable alternatives, but they […]
