L2M Novel Treatment for Interstitial Cystitis

Interstitial cystitis is a life-long condition that causes pain and pressure in the bladder. It is not clear how this condition is caused; however, we know that it involves increased bladder inflammation. Currently available treatments for interstitial cystitis do not work for everyone and often stop working after a few years. We are developing a treatment for this condition that decreases pain and inflammation. We hope to bring to the consumer market, but before we do, we need to complete additional investigations into how our treatment works to decrease inflammation. After we are sure that the treatment is effective, we will need to determine the steps needed to bring this new treatment to people with interstitial cystitis. This project will help patients with interstitial cystitis manage their symptoms and allow our partner organization to mobilize Canadian research to the medical market.

Business Strategy Internship

Digital Communications Strategy Development & Implementation

Tutor Teach has faced rapid growth since inception in 2020. This extraordinary growth has lead us to re-evaluate areas for improvement and growth which is how this internship was developed. The intern will have a multifaceted role which will improve Tutor Teach’s digital communications, online presence, and marketing strategies. Tutor Teach requires a strong SEO plan to increase website traffic and align it with our social media efforts. Additionally, Tutor Teach is seeking to develop a forward-thinking digital marketing plan to target specific audiences and regions. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are needed for future consistency, and an intern will conduct assessments to propose sustainable scalability solutions. The role includes a large journalistic component in order to develop new initiatives. These initiatives include the research, development and execution of a branded podcast to reach a large range of audiences nationwide. Additionally, the intern will work towards bolstering Tutor Teach’s media relations initiatives while to create buzz around Tutor Teach’s programming and services as a lead-generation strategy. The intern will be able to grow in confidence and skills, starting their career off with tools and initiatives that will give them real-world experience. Tutor Teach’s growth is promising, but marketing gaps persist, and they serve both students/families and teachers. A Digital Communications intern will help address these issues and gain valuable skills. This project benefits Tutor Teach by enhancing our digital marketing and long-term scalability.

Creating an anticipatory data ethics protocol for emerging nature-based solutions

Ethical data governance practices continue to shift with the emergence of digital technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence. As these technologies begin to integrate more with climate and nature-based solutions, unique implications appear around data collection, handling, and use. Established concerns about privacy, consent, and data transparency present themselves, along with new considerations where information about people and environments come together. Veritree is collaborating with the University of Guelph to review current and future environmental technology trends, and to create an anticipatory data ethics protocol for the nature-based solutions Veritree provides. Veritree will use the review and ethics protocol to support their data pratices, to keep pace with shifting ethical considerations in the industry, and to contribute to global, data-driven efforts that address climate change and environmental conservation.

Barriers and Facilitators to the Integration of Mental Health Servicesin Primary Care in Vietnam from the Perspective of Health Workers: Individual,Organizational and Structural Factors”

Access to appropriate mental health services is critically limited for many people living in low and middle-income countries. Making services for depression available in primary health care increases the successful diagnosis and treatment of depression and improves the quality of people’s lives. As the first point of contact with patients, primary care workers are essential to the successful delivery of depression care. Many factors, such as health worker attitudes about mental illness, their workload, and competing priorities may impact their ability to successfully provide mental health services. This study will examine factors that influence the successful integration of services for depression in primary care in Hanoi, Vietnam to understand how to design effective interventions for health workers to improve their capacity to provide care for depression. The results may be used when planning for the integration of depression services in primary care in Vietnam and in other countries.

An automated system for personalized nutrition via 3D food printing

This project presents an innovative approach to personalized nutrition using 3D food printing technology. It comprises two key components. Firstly, a decision-support system is designed to evaluate the feasibility of turning a 3D food design into a tangible, edible product. This system helps ensure that the food is not only nutritious but also practical to create with the 3D printer. Secondly, a user-friendly algorithm is developed to offer customized dietary recommendations after users input their personal data. By considering factors like individual health goals, dietary restrictions, and preferences, this algorithm generates tailored nutritional plans, making it easier for individuals to maintain a balanced and personalized diet.

Towards the development of an in silico model for the zebrafish action potential

The heart beats 3-4 billion times in one’s lifetime, while adapting its activity to meet the body’s continuously changing physiological demands. This adaptation is driven partly by the central nervous system, which sends signals to a network of nerves in the heart, known as the intracardiac nervous system (IcNS). Many believe the IcNS acts as a ‘little brain in the heart’, by combining nervous system inputs and local information to rapidly alter the heart’s output in response to changes in its environment. Yet a clear understanding of the inner workings of this system remains elusive. The zebrafish has emerged as a powerful tool to study the IcNS in the whole heart, which is limited in mammals. The goal of my proposed project is to gain further understanding of the IcNS through the creation of a zebrafish-specific mathematical model, which I will bring back to Canada and combine with my experimental work to generate new fundamental knowledge about IcNS function and its importance in the healthy and diseased heart.
