Optical Fiber-Based Point of Care DNA Detection – Year Two

We aim to develop novel technologies for point of care DNA testing assisted by optical fiber devices. Specifically, the two main objectives are to achieve increased rapidity and improved multiplexing capabilities with respect to Spartan Bioscience’s current generation of products. This interdisciplinary project involves efforts in chemistry, biology, and photonics. On the photonics side, we must conceive an efficient and cost effective multipurpose fiber-based device and thoroughly optimize it, in addition to developing the optical setup to which it will be integrated. Following this research phase, significant engineering efforts will also be put into transferring this new technology from a laboratory setting to a product-like prototype. If the project is successful, the next generation of Spartan’s products will be based on these technologies and this will contribute to maintain Spartan as one of the world leaders in the new but highly competitive market of point of care DNA testing.

Biomechanical and metabolic analysis of world-class short-trackspeed skaters

Short-track speed-skating has been one of the most important medal-provider sport for Canada at Olympic Games for many years. However, research on performance determinants is very scarce, and Canada is progressively loosing ground compared to new countries interested in the medal potential of this sport. There is an urgent need to better understand the biomechanical and physiological constraints of this sport to enhance training effectiveness and performance. Using portable, cuttingedge technology, this research will create and validate a sport-specific set of biomechanical and physiological data for every athlete that will be used to optimise training load, inform athletes’ fatigue level, training adaptations, and potential injury risk. This research will foster technological development and individualize training interventions to give a wining edge to our male and female Canadian speed skaters.

Rechargeable Hybrid Aqueous Gel Batteries for Start-Stop Applications in Automobile Vehicles – Year Two

Currently, all types of vehicles utilize a 12 volt lead-acid battery for start-stop, controls, comfort features, redundancy, and safety features. We aim to replace it by introducing a new rechargeable hybrid aqueous battery, which is lead-free and possesses more than twofold higher energy storage capacity. There are requirements to further improve the rate capability and to reduce water-loss of this battery. In this proposed research, we will use nanotechnology to re-design the cathode materials and electrode structures to improve the rate capability. We will design and fabricate new gel electrolytes which protect the water component from evaporation and thus enhance the battery’s service life. The collective advances attribute to this new battery and make it practical for use as the power source for the electrical system in vehicles. The research knowledge will contribute to the scale-up projects in POSITEC Canada Ltd., a company based in Toronto.

Integrated hydrodynamic and water quality modelling tool for the Toronto Waterfront – Year Two

The goal of this project is to develop the first ever high definition integrated water circulation and water quality model for the Toronto Waterfront. As one of the most urbanized freshwater ecosystems with complex geometries and physical processes, Toronto Waterfront is in an urgent need for modern scientific tools that can support effective environmental management strategies and inform design of costly new development and restoration projects that have considerable socioeconomic implications. Additionally, this cutting edge integrated model will be used in collaboration with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and key partners to study the impact of various scenarios of proposed urbanization developments on the water circulation, water quality and fish habitat in the Toronto Waterfront. The results from this research, such as the analysis of restoration strategies and predictions for the outcome of future developments, will ensure cost effective, sustainable investments while aligning with water quality provincial standards.

Chromosome Engineering for Bioproducts from Methanotrophs – Year Two

Currently Metagenom Bio Inc. offers contract research services in environmental microbial species profiling. Applications for this service include the monitoring of biogas operations, greenhouses, and mining processes. Metagenom Bio wishes to offer solutions that use microbes to generate value-added products. Biogas reactors can break down waste products and produce methane, or natural gas. This methane can be burned, or some of it may be used to create materials using bacteria that can consume methane. These bacteria are the methanotrophs, and some of them are able to make polymers that can be used as bioplastics. These bioplastics are biodegradable, biocompatible, and they are suited for use in medical applications and food packaging applications among others. We plan to use genome engineering methods to engineer methanotrophs so that we can use them to create a range of bioplastics for various industrial applications requiring desired physical properties.

Development of Cell-Based Functional Assays to Accelerate Commercialization and Therapeutic Application of Recombinant Antibodies

Antibodies are the fastest growing segment of the pharmaceutical market, and with modern engineering technologies antibodies can be programmed to target devastating diseases. Within the immune system, antibodies fight invading bacteria and viruses. High-quality synthetic antibodies directed to disease-related targets have immense therapeutic potential. Development of cell-based assays to enable rapid identification of functionally active antibodies is a critical step in the commercialization process. The proposed research project will involve screening of binders against disease-associated targets; antibodies showing clinical relevancy will be considered for entry into the clinical trial pipeline. The newly formed Centre for the Commercialization of Antibodies and Biologics (CCAB) will bridge the research and discovery occurring at the Donnelly Centre with industry partners to enable accelerated delivery of new therapies to fight diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and Crohn’s disease. CCAB will facilitate commercialization of antibodies by leveraging a world-class technology platform and experienced product development professionals.

Competitive differentiation of VAL-083 as a treatment alternative in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

Non-small cell lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Resistance to treatments results in a very poor long-term prognosis. VAL-083 is a chemotherapeutic drug that has activity against lung cancer in cell-studies and in clinical trials. It may be an effective treatment option for drug-resistant lung cancer. However, the detailed mechanism of VAL-083 activity in cancer cells is still unclear. The proposed internship project aims to determine the mechanism and resulting effects of VAL-083 in lung cancer cells. Understanding the mechanism allows DelMar to identify cancer patients who will benefit the most from VAL-083 treatment. It further aids DelMar in combining VAL-083 with other drugs to obtain maximum efficacy in lung cancer patients.

Reduced-Complexity Radio Resource Management Algorithms for Heterogeneous MIMO Cellular Networks

Future broadband cellular systems will require very high throughput data transmission to satisfy ever increasing demands of mobile users for high speed multimedia services. Using innovative approaches to multiantenna transmission/reception and to cooperation of network nodes the achievable data rates can be greatly increased. Two significant obstacles to achieving very high data rates are interference and network latency. In this project, we shall attempt to reduce interference by introducing novel methods and algorithms to coordinate
transmissions from clusters of network nodes. Also, we will investigate the detrimental effect of delayed channel state information on the performance of the proposed algorithms, and will introduce techniques mitigating it. This project is of great interest to its partners and its outcomes are expected to be of significant relevance and benefit to the design and operation of future wireless networks.
