Fall 2019
This thesis examines the work of three artists—Beatriz da Costa, Tomás Saraceno, and Andrea Zittel—whose practices engage strategically with design in ways that echo pedagogical developments at the German Bauhaus and later at Black Mountain College. These two, short-lived, schools were known for...

Fall 2021
Terahertz (THz) radiation is a non-ionizing form of electromagnetic (EM) energy that occupies a broad frequency region at the interface between conventional microwave and infrared bands. The strong coupling between THz excitations and natural oscillatory dynamics in biological systems has...

Can Existing Cohort Studies with Self-Reported Diagnosis be used in the Study of Rare Cancer? Evaluating the Feasibility of Rare Cancer Research in Emerging Cohorts in Canada
DownloadFall 2019
Rare cancers affect few people individually, but collectively account for approximately 22% of new cancer cases in Canada. However, prevention and population-level research on rare cancers have been limited as low case numbers make them difficult to study. The emergence of large, collaborative...

Colorectal Cancer Small Extracellular Vesicles Induce Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression, an Invasion-Promoting Phenotype, and CD147-Dependent MAPK/AP-1 Activation in Macrophages
DownloadFall 2020
Exosomes and small microvesicles are types of small extracellular vesicle (sEVs) secreted by cancerous and normal cells. sEVs are filled with cargo from cancer cells that may affect both nearby and distant tissues. sEVs from colorectal cancers that enter blood vessels draining the intestine will...

Development of active tumor targeting systems for delivery of siRNA and drugs into breast and colorectal cancer
DownloadSpring 2020
Active targeting strategies have been pursued to improve the efficacy and safety of cancer therapeutics and theranostics. The significant benefit of tumor homing ligands conjugated to small molecules versus nanoparticle delivery systems in enhancing drug delivery to the tumor is still a matter of...

Ford, Katherine L., Orsso, Camila E., Kiss, Nicole, Johnson, Skyler B., Purcell, Sarah A., Gagnon, Adele, Laviano, Alessandro, Prado, Carla M.
Individuals with cancer may be motivated to make lifestyle changes and informed dietary choices, but are exposed to conflicting and erroneous nutrition information, particularly from online and social media sources. Changes to dietary choices that stem from a diagnosis of cancer are not fully...

Engineering Gene Vectors: Synthesis of Thioether-Lipid Polyethyleneimine Conjugates for pDNA and siRNA Delivery
DownloadFall 2024
Gene therapy offers a promising approach for treatment of a diverse array of diseases at their genetic root causes. The cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI) has been extensively used for successful non-viral nucleic acid delivery in experimental systems, but its clinical utility has been hampered by...

Spring 2024
Despite the large body of evidence of the benefits of exercise for people with cancer, it is often not part of standard care. This thesis addresses two components that are relevant to the widespread implementation of exercise oncology programs in clinical practice: cost-effectiveness and symptom...

Feasibility and Safety of Heavy Lifting Strength Training in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors Post-Surgical Neck Dissection (the LIFTING trial)
DownloadSpring 2022
Background: Despite improvements in surgical neck dissection (ND) procedures, head and neck cancer survivors (HNCS) still endure acute and chronic side effects such as loss of muscular strength, limitations in physical functioning, and fatigue, that impact quality of life and limit return to...
