“It opens up all these possibilities now for future research,” said U of O professor Pierre Berini.

Explorative research by Michael Murack finds that chronic sleep disruption causes depression in adolescents.
If successful, these viruses could become an effective therapy in fighting breast and ovarian cancers providing hope to those who need it the most.
CHEO and U of O have partnered with the City of Ottawa to work on a “shitty” research project dealing with local sewage.
Due to growing concerns of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Ottawa’s office of the vice-president, research (OVPR) has asked that all non-essential critical research or non-time sensitive research begin scaling down their activities by Friday.
Five University of Ottawa professors are receiving more than $2 million in funding from the federal government to support research projects aimed at addressing the COVID-19 epidemic.
Deciphering emojis in messages can be confusing, but a U of O PhD student is using his research project to break down the meaning behind communicating using emojis. Olivier Langlois submitted his master’s thesis on Sept. 19, which showcased how people responded to emojis within text messages.
“We care for patients — we have been for 25 years — using basic science and role models with collaborators in various fields including chemistry, molecular biology, imaging, and others, to try and really characterize the changes between mobility to better prevent and treat them,” says U of O professor Guy Trudel.
The gathering held over the weekend, held partly on campus, looked to highlight the guitar’s relationship to electronic music and the academic study of the instrument.
Study suggests consuming probiotics, live bacteria found in yogurt and fermented milk, during puberty may help build resilience to mental illness later in the lifespan through the gut microbiome.
The fundamental principle of quantum mechanics is superposition which states that a particle can exist in multiple places at the exact same time.
A recent study led by University of Ottawa researcher Dr. Jarius Cross led to a shocking discovery. There was, collectively, zero reading done by U of O students during the winter semester reading week.
For four days, Trudeau’s team exposed zebrafish to Prozac as embryos. Shortly after hatching, the fish were showing lower cortisol levels compared to those not exposed to the drug. When exposed to stress or new environments, the male fish responded less.
The research team used surgical procedures on adult-mice in order to explore their results, relating them back to adult-human neurological processes.
NSERC’s vision is to provide financial support to students in the hopes of new discoveries and innovative ideas to help advance the fields of science and engineering.
Reports of Lyme disease in the Ottawa area have been increasing in recent years, leading researchers at the University of Ottawa to investigate the geographical reasons behind this upward trend.
Manisha Kulkarni, an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa’s School of Epidemiology, Public Health, and Preventive Medicine researches pathogens that are transmitted by insects and arthropods, and believes that the high rate of Lyme disease in Ottawa is the result of more ticks in the region.
Leading researchers come together to tackle mental illness head on.
Last month the chairperson of the CRC Program published an open letter on behalf of the program’s steering committee, which urged university presidents in the program to make a “concerted effort to address the under representation of the four designated groups (women, Aboriginal Peoples, persons with disabilities and visible minorities) in nominations for Canada Research Chair positions.”
A study published in the scientific journal, PLOS ONE, this past week by a team of researchers from the University of Ottawa has found high levels of arsenic and methyl mercury, a toxic type of mercury that can accumulate in food chains, in lakes near The Giant Mine, located just outside of Yellowknife.
More should be done to integrate a hands-on research experience with theory in classes. With this type of approach, it’s not necessary to choose between two inherently connected aspects of university.
