Menstrual blood is usually discarded but it actually contains a plethora of biomolecules that can tell us information about your health! CELLECT, a start-up founded by CT Murphy from the University of Waterloo, aims to use menstrual blood and nanotechnology solutions to diagnose HPV and cervical cancer. Tune in to this episode to learn more!

About CT Murphy:

CEO and Founder of CELLECT. She was awarded the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN)- Velocity scholarship, Velocity's Up Start Program, and Cornerstone Program. Her company was also recently covered by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). You can follow her LinkedIn here!

Lit-Update Meet the Expert! where we get to dig deep into papers with the scientist themselves!

Have you ever wondered how changes to your normal schedule affects your health? Tune in to learn more about circadian disruption and health from Stéphanie Abo based on her paper "Can the Clocks Tick Together Despite the Noise? Stochastic Simulations and Analysis" published in SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems.

Stéphanie is a PhD Candidate in mathematical and computational biology at the University of Waterloo. Her academic research primarily explores the interaction between the circadian clock and metabolism in healthy and disease states (e.g., diabetes, bacterial infections). I use both data-driven and mechanistic modelling technique (PDEs, ODEs, stochastic DEs, kinetic theory and mean-field limits, agent-based modelling, and statistical methods).
