L2M – NorthMiRs Market Research

NorthMiRs is developing nanotechnology-enabled gene therapies for the treatment of sepsis. We have determined microRNAs that are dysregulated in septic patients and packaged them into a stable, synthetic, and scalable lipid nanoparticle delivery vehicle. Our lead therapeutic, NM-001, a miRNA replacement therapy for sepsis-associated cardiomyopathy has been shown to be anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and protects organs from injury. Sepsis is a disease with no specific therapies, despite recent advancements. This is in large part due to poor efficacy shown during advanced clinical trials or even after approval. In this project, the intern will conduct up to 100 interviews, focusing efforts on learning about the risks to consider in the use of the therapeutic and the suitability of this indication in order to better design our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials in order to prove the efficacy of our product.

Construction et implémentation d’un système de comptabilité socio-environnementale dans l’offre de service d’un organisme de service-conseil en développement durable en vue d’anticiper les obligations réglementaires de divulgation extra-financière des entreprises canadiennes

Les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) représentent environ 50% du PIB et 99.8% de la masse salariale au Canada1. Devant l’urgence de la transition climatique, des normes et une plus grande transparence de ces organisations seraient souhaitables si l’on veut rendre leurs pratiques plus durables. Pourtant, aucun guide n’est encore adapté pour que ces dernières agissent à la hauteur des nécessités. Il semble que l’Union européenne soit la seule institution à avoir entamé cette démarche encore en construction (EFRAG, 2023). Au Canada, l’institution de référence ne propose encore rien à ce sujet (ISSB, 2023a).
Il apparaît nécessaire de comprendre la réalité de ces entreprises si l’on veut développer des stratégies de gestion qui satisfont la réalité de l’urgence écologique et sociale.
À ce titre, il est aussi nécessaire de travailler au plus près de ces entreprises si l’on veut que ces stratégies et leurs outils soient pragmatiques.
C’est à cela qu’aspire ce projet. En collaboration avec ADDERE service-conseil, un organisme à but non lucratif de conseil en développement durable, la recherche et les travaux entrepris auront pour but de faire émerger des outils de gestion pour les PME en termes d’actions environnementales, sociétales et de gouvernances (ESG).

Precision Hydrogen Spectroscopy

Precision measurements of the Hydrogen 1s-2s energy transition are key to verifying theoretical predictions and fundamental physics. The project at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in Brazil is to perform the highest precision measurement of hydrogen using a new cold hydrogen beam, built at UFRJ, and a high power UV 243-nm laser system, built at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Measurements of this nature have been performed for decades, but with our hydrogen and laser improvements we will contribute to the highest precision measurement of its kind. These efforts will also contribute to the anti-hydrogen experiment,# ALPHA, in finding important violations of scientific theories

Improving Diagnosis of Canine Leptospirosis: Development of a Machine Learning Tool using UK and Canadian Data

Canine leptospirosis is a climate-sensitive, bacterial, infectious disease of global importance. Despite being vaccine-preventable, leptospirosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dogs. Across North America and the United Kingdom (UK), the prevalence of canine leptospirosis ranges between 4.8-14%, with evidence for increasing prevalence over time. Leptospirosis can be difficult or slow to diagnose due to non-specific clinical signs and need to test blood or urine using laboratory-based diagnostics. Early diagnosis is important for initiation of treatment and improvement of outcomes. Thus, there is a need for clinical tools that can be used to assist with early detection of leptospirosis. Machine learning methods have been shown to aid in early and accurate diagnosis for a variety of diseases. We propose to develop a validated machine learning model trained on canine clinicopathologic, signalment, and environmental information using a large, geographically and clinically representative canine population using data from the United Kingdom and Canada. This model will extend prior research by including environmental data, such as season, temperature, or precipitation, which may improve its predictive ability. This model can be applied by veterinarians to improve their ability to diagnose leptospirosis and implement earlier treatment in Canada and the UK.

L2M – Validating Perioperative Solutions with PrehabRx

Surgery places significant stress on the body, much like running a marathon does. However, while marathon runners rigorously train before their race, most Canadians are not preparing for surgeries. Not only does a wealth of data exist supporting the notion of “better in, better out”, when it comes to surgery outcomes, but being in a poor condition before surgery can also lead to problems, longer hospital stays, or even death. PrehabRx is a digital health company that aims to end this norm. A growing body of evidence suggests improving functional capacity and physiological reserves before surgery through prehabilitation (prehab), can significantly improve recovery and reduce adverse events. However, the forms of access and implementation that have long served to empirically establish prehab safety, feasibility, and efficacy require reinforcement to advance prehab access and availability. Through the support of Lab2Market (L2M), we will systematically conduct market research, identify perceptions around product value, and pinpoint areas for development. Moreover, since our team is predominantly composed of clinical and academic backgrounds, L2M will help provide resources, training, and tailored guidance immediately relevant to upskill our team for success at the intersection of academic research and commercialization. Ultimately, this endeavour will propel us forward on our mission to disseminate prehab for all.

Design and Life Cycle Analysis of Electric Aircraft Propulsion Systems

In collaboration with CAE, the project’s primary goal is to identify an appropriate material to isolate a battery pack in a hybrid electric aircraft. The chosen material must be as light as possible, while meeting appropriate safety standards. This battery module will be integrated into an aircraft for testing by the industry partner. With a focus on sustainable development, a framework for the life cycle analysis (LCA) will be developed to aid in evaluating the overall impact of a given design and identifying optimization opportunities to create a more sustainable and cost-efficient product. The project has 3 primary milestones. An extensive literature review will be completed to review existing aircraft battery module design and investigate battery LCA in other industries. This will help identify what materials are best suited to encapsulate the battery system and the optimal configuration for the battery pack. Safety measures, such as fire containment and safe cell-venting in case of gaseous release. This is particularly important given the low-pressure conditions onboard the aircraft[4]. Following this, an LCA will be developed using open-source tools, such as openLCA, to account for the full life cycle impact of the battery pack…

Quantum Error Correction for Photonic Quantum Computers

We appear to be at the beginning of a revolution in the development of new technologies based on quantum science. Over the past several years, Canada has become a world leader in quantum information research and in the development of these emerging quantum technologies. Quantum computers that are based on optical architectures include some of the most promising scalable quantum technologies. Over the past few years, Xanadu Quantum Technologies, based in Toronto, has made significant leaps in the development of its photonic quantum computers. One of the hurdles that remains for Xanadu to overcome, is to identify specific error correction approaches that are tailored to their needs. The research in this proposal, to be carried out by a PhD student intern in collaboration with scientists at Xanadu and the University of Guelph, will focus on key mathematical aspects of these problems.

Genome Tracer: Microbial Genomic Network Analysis to Understand, Monitor, and Mitigate Pathogen Transmission in Animals

Infectious diseases in animals can cause many problems such as impacting the economy, harming
wildlife and the environment, food security, and even making people sick (zoonoses). Because of issues like
pollution, climate change, and agricultural intensification, we expect these diseases to happen more often and to
be worse over time. So, it is very important to understand how these diseases get into and spread within our
food systems in Canada. This will help us determine how to reduce the risk of these diseases spreading. One
way we can do this is by studying the genetic code of the pathogens (germs) that cause these diseases – by
looking at their DNA to see how they’re related to each other. However, the way we usually do this, using
something called phylogenetic trees, has some problems. It can’t tell us which pathogen came from where, and
it assumes all pathogens came from one common ancestor pathogen, which makes it hard to understand large
disease outbreaks. To address this issue, we made a new tool called GenomeTracer – a detective tool for
diseases.
