Honouring the Waters: Snuneymuxw Mapping

The Clear Seas Indigenous Internship Program aims to provide support to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities across Canada by helping them build the necessary internal capacity to research and protect their territories through a re imagined internship program. Clear Seas provides mentorship to the interns and uplifts existing internal capacity within Indigenous communities. The Clear Seas Internship Program is tackling the real-world impacts of marine shipping on Indigenous communities, with significant cultural, social, and economic consequences. While shipping is vital for trade and economic growth, it often disrupts marine ecosystems, interferes with traditional fishing and hunting practices, and undermines Indigenous governance structures. This project’s scope is to be a leader for more holistic, respectful, supportive, responsive, equitable, and inclusive relationships between Indigenous communities and marine ecospheres through co-produced research spaces. The research centres around the marine ecosphere as Clear Seas can leverage their vast network of marine-related industries and partners. The knowledge developed through these projects will inform future Clear Seas research and guide marine-related policy and strategies.

Glass-filled polypropylene (GFPP) plays a critical role in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods industries due to its strong, lightweight, and cost-effective properties. However, GFPP produced by ABC Technology exhibits lower tensile strength than a leading competitor. Tensile strength in GFPP depends on key factors such as fiber-matrix adhesion, fiber dispersion, and processing conditions. Improving these factors through fiber surface treatments, compatibilizers, and optimized processing techniques can significantly enhance the material’s mechanical performance.
Improving the tensile strength of glass-filled polypropylene (GFPP) requires a strong foundation in interfacial chemistry, polymer science, polymer processing, and characterization methods. A deep understanding of fiber-matrix interactions, surface treatments, and compatibilization strategies is essential for enhancing adhesion and stress transfer. Additionally, expertise in polymer processing techniques ensures optimal fiber dispersion and minimizes degradation, while proficiency in characterization methods enables precise evaluation of mechanical properties. Effective data analysis further supports the identification of key factors influencing GFPP performance, guiding the development of stronger, more durable composites.

Going Up in Flames – Impact of Being Exposed to Beliefs-Altering Residential Fires on Households’ Financial Holdings and Career Path

Canadian households face significant financial risks, including inadequate retirement savings and not being financially resilient to unexpected adverse events. An understanding of why households bear these risks and how their risk attitudes shift with economic shocks is thus critical. Although beliefs and risk perceptions are at the root of households’ financial decisions, the literature is silent on how first-hand experience of “life-changing” events affect individuals’ employment, financial holdings, and insurance policies. Therefore, this project seeks to answer the question: Do “beliefs-altering events”, defined as severe, one-off, and non-strictly financial losses, impact Canadian households’ financial holdings? Our partner, a major Canadian financial institution, will gain a deeper understanding of how households adjust their financial strategies after experiencing unexpected shocks. The quantification of how beliefs-altering events encourage individuals to reallocate financial assets (including insurance policies) or change career paths will allow our partner to better support affected clients.

Impact des comparaisons indirectes dans la prise de décision par la CDA-AMC et l’INESSS

Les comparaisons indirectes sont fréquemment utilisés pour évaluer l’efficacité d’un nouveau traitement par rapport aux options thérapeutiques déjà disponibles sur le marché canadien, une étape primordiale dans l’évaluation des technologies de la santé (ETS) avant d’obtenir un remboursement. Toutefois, une incertitude réside sur leur impact dans la prise de décision par ces agences. Ainsi, l’objectif de ce projet est d’identifier si des tendances existent entre les caractéristiques de la comparaison indirecte utilisée et son influence sur la recommandation posée par les agences d’évaluation canadiennes, soient l’Agence des médicaments du Canada (CDA-AMC) et l’Institut national d’excellence en santé et en services sociaux (INESS). Parmi les éléments pris en compte figurent le type de comparaison utilisée, la condition médicale pour laquelle le produit fait l’objet d’évaluation, les limites identifiées par l’agence, ainsi que l’entité qui a conduit l’analyse, soit la compagnie ou l’agence elle-même. Enfin, les résultats de ce projet permettront d’améliorer les conseils offerts aux compagnies pharmaceutiques souhaitant un obtenir un remboursement de leur médicament sur le territoire canadien, facilitant ainsi l’accès des patients à leur traitement sans fardeau financier.

Disinfection of wastewater effluent in low resource and humanitarian contexts

Wastewater is one of the primary point-source contaminants polluting freshwater sources, including shallow groundwater sources. Over 80% of wastewater worldwide is neither collected nor treated and more than 70% of sewered wastewater from human activities is discharged without any form of pollution control, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases. This project, in collaboration with Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (CAWST) will address a critical public health issue by evaluating potential onsite wastewater disinfection solutions integrating UV light-emitting diode (LED) technology for disinfecting wastewater. Experimental trials using UV LED reactors that are manufactured in Canada, will be conducted at the University of British Columbia to evaluate disinfection performance and validate the predictions of a computational tool. The study will analyze UV disinfection dose-response curves, inactivation rates, and water quality parameters to assess the efficacy of UV LED technology for inactivating E. coli and other contaminants. Partner organization, CAWST, with expertise in water, sanitation and hygiene options using simple, affordable technologies, will work with the intern on the experimental design, engineering considerations, testing protocols, results interpretation and data analysis. Together, we aim to assess whether this novel disinfection solution is appropriate for sanitation in a disaster relief and humanitarian contexts.

Development of algorithms to improve microflow analysis

Our primary mandate at API is to advance basic research and innovation to commercialization by providing access to world-class industry expertise, services, and infrastructure. Our activities focuses on engaging and supporting drug discovery and development initiatives, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and driving innovation and commercialization through collaborative research and clinical studies. The investigation of extracellular vesicles (EV) as the next frontier for diagnostic evaluation is underway across the globe. There is a myriad of techniques available to interrogate extracellular vesicles, but the most versatile by far is EV flow cytometry (evFC). This technique can assess millions of potential cell fragments from microlitres of biological material such as plasma, urine or cerebrospinal fluid. From these investigations, we can begin to unravel potential new biomarkers when intact tumor cells may simply be too rare to monitor. Similarly, we can monitor patient response to medical treatments without requiring excessive amounts of material. In addition, we can detect and monitor viral and bacterial infections due to the sub-micron resolution of the technique.
However, with any technique that enhances resolution, detection of the appropriate signals becomes critical. Identifying the true positive signal from the “negative” background has traditionally been a subjective protocol with cell-based flow cytometry. This process, called “gating” involves selecting a subset of events from all events collected during a flow cytometry experiment for further analysis or data presentation. This includes general clean-up of the data, such as removing dead and dying cells or events consisting of multiple cells, as well as isolating your target cell population using their characteristic size, granularity, and expression of various cell markers. Proper gating, along with smart panel-building, can make your data easier to interpret and more publication-ready. The development of machine-learning based approaches for dynamic gating and instrument calibration (refractive index and size) will not only enhance the analysis of small particle evFC data, but also significantly increase the throughput capability of analyses of large datasets from months to weeks or even days.
