Boulder Associates' Somata module at Obliteride and Design Festival

So this is pretty cool...We’re officially launching the Selkirk Ion-source Research Centre (SIRC), thanks to an incredible $1 million donation from local industry leader D-Pace, Inc. This means our students and researchers in rural BC will get hands-on access to world-class particle accelerator technology, bringing new opportunities in science, engineering, and innovation to our region and beyond. A big thank you to our partners at D-Pace and TRIUMF for supporting education, discovery, and community growth in the Kootenays.

UHN is proud to partner with Baycrest, The Hospital for Sick Children, CAMH, Unity Health Toronto and the Institute of Medical Science, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto for Toronto's first 7T MRI. This collaboration is an exciting advancement for brain imaging, research, diagnosis and treatment.

Toronto’s first-ever 7-Tesla (7T) MRI scanner, one of only three clinical 7T systems in Canada, provides unprecedented detail of the brain, opening new possibilities for earlier diagnosis, precision therapies, and deeper insights into conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis and cancer. The 7T MRI is part of the Toronto Neuro-Immunology/Imaging Consortium (TONIIC), a collaborative research initiative that includes Unity Health Toronto, Sunnybrook, Baycrest, The Hospital for Sick Children, University Health Network, CAMH and the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto.

This fall, in partnership with Baycrest, The Hospital for Sick Children, University Health Network, CAMH, Unity Health Toronto and the Institute of Medical Science, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto we're celebrating Toronto’s first 7T MRI. The 7T MRI will: ✅ Produce extremely detailed images in high resolution, enabling scientists to see previously invisible features of the brain ✅ Allow researchers to see the chemical make-up of the brain ✅ Drive precision therapies—from MR-guided focused ultrasound to deep brain stimulation to more effective cancer radiation treatments We’re grateful for support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation/Fondation canadienne pour l'innovation and the Ontario Government | Gouvernement de l’Ontario for making this possible.

In this paper, the performance of image reconstruction algorithms is evaluated and compared. The comparison between reconstruction algorithms is performed in terms of localization of the tumor and computational time. The #Delay #and #Sum (#DAS) beamformer is the simplest microwave imaging algorithm with real-time execution. The experimental results in the paper illustrate that DAS shows limited capabilities for suppressing the noise and the artifacts. #Delay #Multiply #and #Sum (#DMAS) is the extended version of DAS and offers high contrast resolution (#narrow #beamformer) at the cost of high computational time. An alternative to DMAS is #Fast #Delay #Multiply #and #Sum (#FDMAS) that provides high resolution at the complexity equal to DAS. Moreover, #interferometric #multiple #signal #classification (#I-#MUSIC) is another efficient method that requires low bandwidth for operating and has a better execution time. ---- Mahnoor Sagheer; Humza Sami; Kashif Riaz; Dr. Muhammad Qasim Mehmood; Muhammad Zubair More details can be found at this link: https://lnkd.in/dqUv43Pk

When Stanford University needed a fast, sustainable solution to support pre-clinical cancer research, Art’s Way Scientific delivered a state-of-the-art modular vivarium complex. The project not only saved more than 1 million gallons of water & $40,000 in energy costs annually, but also empowered the next generation of researchers with the space and resources to drive discovery.

“Why can we see to the edges of the universe, but it’s so difficult to see two-and-a-half centimeters inside the human body?” Bailey Renger was interning at NASA when, at 21, she had a cancer scare. “I had a solid mass, but they couldn’t tell me definitively whether or not it was malignant,” she recalls. She fought for more screening, but her insurance wouldn’t cover additional imaging. Today, Renger, now 26, is launching BeSound, a breast screening ultrasound startup that aims to catch what mammograms miss or insurance won’t cover. The startup raised $6.8 million, Fortune is the first to report. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gFZQQ2SE

We’re supporting Scotland’s world-class universities to turn research into real-world impact, helping tackle global problems and improve lives. Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes MSP announced the 18 projects to share £2.95 million Proof of Concept Funding during a visit to the Institute of Genetics and Cancer. The fund is awarded to projects that address significant global challenges across a range of sectors including Life Sciences, Quantum, Photonics, Aerospace, AI and Fintech.

CAR-T therapies have already changed the landscape for blood cancers - proving what’s possible when immune cells are reprogrammed to fight disease. But the next frontier is even more complex: solid tumors. Here, the problem isn’t just efficacy - it’s control. Safety. Precision. To move forward, the field needs new logic layers - systems that make immune cells act only when they should. That’s where logic-gated CAR-T designs, like our AND-gate platform, come in. Because the next generation of cell therapies won’t just kill cancer - they’ll know how to do it safely. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d9MZRTPJ #GoCART #CAR_T #DeSci #Biotech #Immunotherapy #Innovation #FutureOfMedicine

This is why we innovate! So proud of this journey. What an incredible journey! It started with an idea for the Mission:Brain Hackathon 2025, I was so proud to represent my institution, Mbarara University of Science & Technology(MUST), on a global stage alongside my brilliant teammates (Dr. Nyanzi Timothy Joseph, Dr. Lugaaju Charles,Kyeune Ronald, Mwine Daniel). Our a Team Uganda secured the 1st Runner-Up position. But the real prize was what came next. Our project, "Lotería de vida," a game created to make stroke education engaging and accessible, has officially been brought to life! Thanks to a powerful partnership with MB:STROP, our concept is no longer just a concept. I'm ecstatic to share that the game is now being used in Mexico to empower individuals with the knowledge to recognize stroke signs and act fast. Seeing our work bridge continents to save lives is the most rewarding feeling. This is proof that playing a game can indeed help save a life. Feeling immensely grateful for this experience and for everyone who believed in our vision.
