Fundamental research, in comparison to applied research, is an area of scientific research that focuses on progressing rudimentary scientific theories with the goal of further understanding scientific basics and making educated predictions on observed phenomena.
Primary metabolism supports essential chemical processes of living organisms, and is highly conserved among all life forms. In contrast, specialized metabolism contributes to the fitness of...
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) comprises products of genomic recombination that cause somatic changes in gene length and sequence. These circular molecules are derived from canonical...
Coordination of immune cell metabolic programs with cell fate and state is a fundamental determinant of immune responses. Emerging evidence highlights that the interplay between immune signa...
Current methods to treat malignant brain tumors are highly intrusive, leading to poor quality of life with abysmal patient survival rates. Combined with radiation therapy, first/second-line...
Metabolic reprogramming is critical for governing proper T cell immune responses, including activation, production of effector molecule, migration and differentiation. The metabolic stress T...

While the introduction of atmospheric pressure ion sources, such as electrospray ionization, revolutionized the field of mass spectrometry it also introduced new instrumental compilations no...
Analysis of antigen- and virus-specific T cells is essential to the understanding of fundamental immunological processes in the contexts of e.g. infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, as well...
Veterinary drugs are commonly used chemicals to improve the growth and health outcomes of farm animals raised for human consumption. However, improper use of vet-drugs in animal farming can...
In 2019, over 220,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer and 82,000 will die of the disease. Approximately 90% of cancer related deaths are the result of metastatic disease. This is ind...
A key step in the clinical production of CAR T cells is the expansion of engineered T cells. To generate enough cells for viable adoptive cell therapy, cells must be robustly stimulated, whi...

Techniques to analyze and sort single cells based on secreted products have the potential to transform our understanding of cellular biology as well as accelerate the development of next gen...
The current gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis is based on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Recent studies suggest limitations of RT-qPC...
Biomedical research suffers from a translation gap, where most treatments that seem effective when tested on animals turn out not to work in human patients. This is likely due in large part...
Our laboratory uses tools from pharmacology, genomics, and cell signaling to identify new precision anticancer therapeutic strategies. Under this broad heading, our work involves three key a...

Given that the hemp industry in the United States is still nascent, certified seed offers American farmers a way to minimize the risk of growing hemp. For hemp, certification carries additio...
Vaporizing cannabis concentrates is increasing in popularity as a potentially healthier alternative to smoking. However, little is known about the chemical profiles of aerosolized concentrat...
