The professors who are JELF recipients from York are:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n Project: Persistence of recent experiences in memory via spontaneous thought Bellana\u2019s research is focused on why some experiences\u00a0preoccupy people, lingering in their spontaneous thoughts\u00a0for longer than others. The CFI funding will support the development of a computational model to predict the kinds of\u00a0events that are likely to influence thoughts, in addition to exploring how physiological\u00a0signals \u2013 like heart rate \u2013 can predict when an event will\u00a0linger in mind. Bellana\u2019s work aspires to advance the scientific understanding of memory, spontaneous thoughts, and mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Project: Curating Reconciliation through XR Immersive Technologies Hudson\u2019s research-creation project utilizes the latest in virtual reality (VR) and other extended reality (XR) technologies to promote Indigenous storytelling and facilitate community building and knowledge sharing. The project aims to foster equity, diversity and inclusion, and involves three immersive experiences: Indigenous-designed VR galleries; a smartphone app that allows users to explore Indigenous histories and perspectives; and an interactive archive kiosk that challenges colonial narratives about First Nations, M\u00e9tis and Inuit peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Project: Establishment of an AI-guided Personalized Medicine Discovery Facility Sachlos and his research team have developed a 3D bone marrow microenvironment to keep leukemic stem cells alive longer outside the body, which enhances experimental drug testing on the blood cancer. Working in collaboration with Lassonde colleagues Aijun An<\/strong> and Laleh Seyyed-Kalantari<\/strong>, the project aims to use AI to identify and test existing U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs tailored to each patient's unique leukemia genetics. Once fully operational, their facility will be able to uncover a personalized drug regimen for leukemia patients within several weeks after receiving a biopsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Project: Data Analytics in Services CFI funding will help Senderovich establish the Data Analytics in Services (DAISE) Lab, which will focus on developing data analytics technologies to improve service systems by making them more accessible, efficient and of higher quality. A multidisciplinary team of researchers will lead efforts in areas such as responsible data science, process mining, operations management in services, as well as AI and machine learning. The lab aims to advance research from early stages to fully implementable software solutions, utilizing advanced computational power and secure storage capabilities to address real-world challenges in service systems<\/p>\n\n\n Project: Methods to Create Mutations in Cells to Understand and Treat Disease Kim\u2019s project will involve the creation of new technologies and special tools for protein engineering and genome editing, enabling him and his lab to alter the genetic code of cells. This type of innovation will advance Kim\u2019s study of the genetic differences of various diseases, including cancer, diabetes and heart disease, in the hope it can also be used to help find better treatments. In addition, the researchers believe this new technology holds the potential to grow more climate-resilient plants and could be adopted by Canadian pharmaceutical companies and agriculture businesses for future applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Project: Marginal MediaWorks Ng-Chan plans to leverage XR technologies \u2013 such as augmented and virtual reality \u2013 to help foster greater inclusivity in the arts and media industries. The sectors currently lack representation from intersectional, marginalized groups, including by race, gender, sexual orientation and disability. Partnering with community arts organizations and artist-run centres, the project will allow for community building, research creation, and the equitable development and exchange of knowledge. Incorporating a decolonial mode of governance, Ng-Chan and her team aim to boost the capacity of partnering organizations that are struggling to adapt to emerging technologies. The goal is to better address the needs of their members as well as to promote increased diversity among people working in the creative sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Project: An Advanced Platform for Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopy The funding will support an upgrade of the electronics to the high-field 700 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer in the Life Sciences Building. The Avance-Neo platform upgrade will provide a new opportunity for Donaldson and 12 other researchers affiliated with the 快播视频 YSciCore facility to obtain the most sensitive and detailed information of biomolecules linked to neurodegenerative disease, biosensor design, antibiotic resistance and vaccine development. The funding also provides support for an intensive computing platform that will enable AI design of new biomolecules with therapeutic and diagnostic potentials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Seven 快播视频 researchers received funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to pursue projects that include artificial intelligence, immersive technologies and more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2293,"featured_media":348623,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,25,22],"tags":[58,56,18,32,33,61,80,10,20,21,47,16,23,15,24,4],"yfileauthor":[204],"qualifier":[],"yfile-author":[],"tags-to-show":[172,155,149,177,168,173,154,158,159],"workflow":[],"class_list":["post-368278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awards-recognition","category-editors-picks","category-research-innovation","tag-ampd","tag-ai","tag-awards","tag-bipoc","tag-equity","tag-science","tag-glendon","tag-laps","tag-lassonde","tag-research","tag-sdg-10","tag-sdg-17","tag-sdg-3","tag-sdg","tag-wellbeing","tag-yfile","yfileauthor-yfilestaff","tags-to-show-ampd","tags-to-show-awards","tags-to-show-bipoc","tags-to-show-equity-diversity-inclusion-edi","tags-to-show-faculty-of-science","tags-to-show-lassonde","tags-to-show-research","tags-to-show-sdg","tags-to-show-wellbeing"],"acf":{"internal_publish_date":null,"original_image":null},"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/09\/JEFL-recipients-Row-1.jpg\")
