This project’s main aim is to create and test a daily text messaging program called Wellness4MDs to help doctors, medical trainees, and students in Canada deal with burnout, anxiety, and depression.

The goal of this study is to advance knowledge regarding the association of vascular risk factors and blood vessels with brain structure and function in youth with severe mental illness.

The objective of our project is to investigate if women with carotid stenosis (CAS) have impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation in different regions of their brain.

An imbalance between excitation and inhibition is one of the earliest detectable features of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder with no known cure, leading to progressive loss of motor function and ultimately the death of the patient.

Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period are high risk for depression onset and other psychiatric disorders in the birthing parent.

To obtain a more inclusive understanding of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) in women, we will investigate the relationship between vascular health and cognition in women belonging to Canada’s three largest ethnic groups (South Asian, Chinese, and White).

The understanding of the factors responsible for the increased risk of cognitive problems in women remains limited.
