This research explores barriers immigrants face in accessing mental health care in Canada. It identifies cultural isolation and mismatched therapeutic approaches as key challenges. The study advocates for culturally competent care, shifting…
2026
This research improves phosphorus use efficiency in canola by identifying plant traits that unlock soil-bound nutrients. By screening varieties and targeting genetic markers, it aims to breed crops that reduce fertilizer dependence, lower costs, and…
2026
This research develops a systemic therapy for spinal muscular atrophy by combining genetic correction with improved delivery. A DNA-like molecule restores proper protein production, while a carrier enables distribution throughout the body. This…
2026
This research investigates genetic resistance in pine trees that survive mountain pine beetle attacks. By identifying protective genes and testing them in fast-growing model plants, it reveals how trees defend themselves. The findings support…
2026
This research targets rare genetic diseases caused by frameshift mutations using antisense oligonucleotides as “genetic band-aids.” By masking faulty DNA segments, it restores functional protein production. Demonstrated in muscular dystrophy models…
2026
This research develops digital twin systems to personalise robotic exoskeleton movement. By integrating biomechanical modelling with real-time robotic control, it enables adaptive, user-specific walking patterns. The approach aims to improve…
2026
This research improves large-scale optimisation by combining problem decomposition with machine learning. By identifying similarities between subproblems, it predicts solutions instead of solving each independently, reducing computational cost. The…
2026
This research improves electric resistance welding by modelling heat transfer and weld formation physics. By identifying and controlling the weld point location, it replaces trial-and-error with predictive engineering rules. The work enables…
2026
This research examines parents’ experiences of early speech and language assessments. It highlights emotional stress, inequities in access, and lack of diverse representation in existing research. By incorporating diverse parental perspectives, the…
