Development of a Product to Prevent Binding of SARS-COV-2 within the Respiratory Airway and Cardiovascular System

The SARS beta coronaviruses, SARS-CoV, which caused the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak in 2003 and the new SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, bind to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors in the lower respiratory tracts of infected patients to gain entry into the lungs. Viral pneumonia and potentially fatal respiratory failure may result in susceptible persons after 10-14 days. Our proposed product will bind to SARS-COV-2 and reduce the opportunity for it to enter the body. If the virus does enter the body, our product can also cross the lung membranes into the bloodstream and also bind to the virus, preventing it from attaching to ACE-2, thereby preventing replication. The intern(s) will examine the dynamics of blocking virus using respiratory and cardiovascular models. The expected benefit to the partner organization will be to obtain Intellectual Property, that can in turn be used to attract Venture Capital investors to provide further funding to guide this project through Clinical Trials.

Upgrading Locally Available Sanitizer Ingredients for Health Services in Canada

In response to COVID-19 in Canada, demand for sanitizer products has increased dramatically. Health Canada has relaxed guidelines for sanitizers meant for consumers and maintained the regulation for medical grade ethanol in healthcare settings. In response to the increased demand and relaxed guidelines, organizations in the ethanol supply chain have been producing sanitizer products. The supply chains for sanitizer ingredients has been thoroughly disrupted. There is a need for medical-grade ethanol, and the reduction of impurities in consumer sanitizers will also benefit the public. This project is aimed at procuring sanitizer ingredients from alternative sources, analyzing and addressing the impurities to comply with the USP monographs for those materials (ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide). Sanitizing products will be produced using these ingredients and distributed to health service providers. The process adaptations that are developed to address impurities will be generated with Good Manufacturing Practices, and appropriate quality control will be developed and practiced as part of production. The project will be directed towards creating a model which can be used to implement this procedure at other fuel grade ethanol plants and manufacturers in order to provide ongoing and future emergency preparedness on a national and global level.

UVPD of DMS-MS-selected SARS-CoV-2 peptides

Differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) is a technique that is used for the analysis of chemicals by separating complex gaseous mixtures under the influence of an electric field. It is a widely used technique and is successfully deployed in many areas, including drug and explosives testing at airports. In analytical laboratories, it can be used to separate peptides – the components that make up proteins and viruses. However, analysis of data from these experiments can be ambiguous and difficult to interpret. We propose to eliminate that ambiguity by simultaneously measuring those chemicals’ response to UV light after they are separated by using DMS. Their response will help us to identify peptides directly, based on their unique interaction with light.

Post discharge after surgery Virtual Care with Remote Automated Monitoring technology (PVC-RAM) Trial

Patients discharged after undergoing non-elective (i.e., semi-urgent, urgent, or emergency) surgeries are at substantial risk, in the 30 days following surgery, of hospital re-admissions and presentation to emergency departments or urgent-care centres. The use of virtual care with remote automated monitoring (RAM) technology to monitor patients from their homes after surgery has the potential to prevent hospital readmission and the need for urgent or emergent care. This is particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent transmission and keep needed hospital beds available for individuals with COVID19.
The Post discharge after surgery Virtual Care with Remote Automated Monitoring technology (PVC-RAM) trial aims to determine the effect of virtual care provided via a shared care approach with remote automated patient monitoring on the risk of acute-hospital care after discharge, as well as on several other post-discharge outcomes including COVID-19 infection at 30 days and 6 months after randomization.

The effect of bovine colostrum supplementation in older adults

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of supplementation with bovine
colostrum, in combination with an 8-week (1 hour, 3 times per week) resistance or
weight-training program, on lean tissue (muscle) mass, strength, inflammation, bone
resorption, and cognitive function in men and women 50 years and older. Bovine
colostrum is the initial milk that is secreted in the first day after calving and is very high
in protein, growth factors and other proteins which benefit the human immune system.
This study will support and expand on the limited research available indicating the
effect of bovine colostrum supplementation on many factors and, for the first time,
devote research attention to older adults. This study will provide the partner
organization with relevant and current research to back marketing claims and expand
market potential.

Benefits and Challenges of using a Digital Health Platform for Remote Delivery of Allied Health Provider Services

The research project aims to discover the experience of two user groups interacting with a prototype developed by HealthQb. The user groups are patients suffering from anxiety, chronic pain and/or infertility, and their allied health practitioners, such as chiropractors, kinesiologists, naturopaths, osteopaths and physiotherapists. The patients will wear a wearable device that collects biometric data and input their subjective state into a mobile app and complete psychometric assessments; and the practitioners will use the analyzed data on a web-hosted dashboard developed by HealthQb, in hopes of delivering better inform treatment and remotely monitoring patient progress. Insights generated from the research will inform the design and development of a commercialized product, which HealthQb intends to develop by the end of 2020.

Canada and Snow Goose Herbivory Effects on Tidal Marsh Recession in the Fraser River Estuary

Tidal marshes are incredibly important bot ecologically and economically. While they provide many natural resources, they also provide flood protection and water filtration. However, many marshes are recessing into unvegetated mudflats. My project aims to find out if and how much goose herbivory contributes to this problem and compare the effects of Canada Geese and Snow Geese. To do this, exclosures will be set up in the mudflats and the marsh edge to keep either one or both geese species out. This will allow a direct comparison of how much damage one species does to the plants, relative to the other. After analyzing this data, I will try different new deterrents to scare and reduce herbivory of geese in tidal marshes. This project is being done in the hope of informing future management and restoration techniques throughout Canadian tidal marshes.

Small and Medium Enterprises in a Covid19 context: Ecosystem business intelligence for increased resilience

Covid 19 has deeply disrupted supply chains. Companies face profoundly changing consumer demand, the elimination of entire subsectors of industries due to forced closures, or individual suppliers due to bankruptcy or temporary plant closures due to COVID19 outbreaks. In this environment, continued operations and continued profitability depends on company’s ability to obtain real time information on markets, competitors and their own supply chain.
While many large companies have much of this information, Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) often do not, substantially limiting their ability to respond to disruptions, and also to adapt to the longer-term structural changes that are anticipated during the recovery / re-imagination phase of the economy.
This project will develop and validate a BI system that will support SMEs during and following the COVID19 disruptions and integrate it into the Bivizio platform currently deployed to agri-food and transportation sectors to increase the resilience of these key sectors to the Canadian economy.

Improving Outcomes for Children with Fetal AlcoholSpectrum Disorder in Care

Working with the FASD Support Network of Saskatchewan (the Network), the research project will
involve a process and impact evaluation of the Improving Outcomes for Children with FASD in Foster
Care training. This training is mandatory for all Saskatchewan foster families and optional for adoptive
parents. The overarching goal of the training is to increase parental knowledge of FASD and lead to
more positive outcomes among their children. The intern will utilize pre-, post-, and follow-up/interim
surveys, as well ministry employee and presenter surveys and parent focus groups. The data
gathered will be analyzed to provide recommendations into the process and outcomes of the FASD
training so that it can be more effective in the future. It will also be disseminated to members of
NeuroDevNet across the country.
