The Ford Motor Company is bringing 800 jobs into the Oakville Assembly Plant. These jobs will be concerned with sequencing parts for the new Material Sequencing Centre. To ensure that workers remain healthy, and their productivity and quality output is up to Ford’s high standards, Ford (through this fellowship) wants to establish clear ergonomic guidelines […]

This project aims to improve computational methods in quantum chemistry by developing better ways to calculate molecular properties. The research focuses on enhancing existing mathematical tools (called functionals) to make them more accurate, especially for molecular fragmentation processes. The project will create user-friendly software that will be freely available to scientists worldwide. For the participating […]

FetoSafe is an AI-powered startup designed to predict whether small-molecule drugs can cross the placental barrier and reach the fetus. This remains a major challenge in maternal healthcare, as most medications lack reliable data on fetal exposure. FetoSafe uses only the SMILES representation of a compound, capturing its chemical structure, to estimate the risk of […]

This project will support the commercialization of a new electrochemical membrane (ECM) technology that actively prevents fouling in wastewater treatment systems, offering a sustainable, low-maintenance alternative to conventional membranes. Through structured market research, stakeholder engagement, and techno-economic analysis, the project will identify high-potential market segments and build a clear commercialization roadmap. The partner organization will […]

This project supports the development of an innovative device that makes IUD insertions and endometrial biopsies less painful and more accurate. By replacing outdated tools with one integrated system, it improves patient comfort and clinical efficiency. The project will provide ReFem Technologies with real-world feedback, regulatory insights, and a clear path to market, accelerating the […]

The proposed Lab2Market internship program will support the intern, who is currently working with AraMill, in strengthening their understanding of validation processes vital for the commercialization of innovative lubrication solutions. The organization specializes in developing advanced, sustainable metallic solid lubricant coatings for machining tools, which significantly reduce friction and eliminate the need for traditional liquid […]

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Canada, with over 24,000 new cases and 9,300 deaths reported in 2023. Early detection significantly improves survival rates, yet current screening methods, such as stool-based tests and colonoscopies, have major limitations. Fecal tests often produce false positives, leading to unnecessary and invasive colonoscopies, […]

The first year after pregnancy is a critical but often overlooked by healthcare systems globally. Many people face physical, emotional, and social changes, yet there is very little formal support. In Canada, most people receive only one six-week follow-up appointment, and support varies depending on who their care provider was. As a result, people with […]

This research project aims to conduct a cross-national comparison of family mental health in the context of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) between France and Canada. The first step will involve harmonizing data from two national cohorts (ELENA in France and PATHWAYS in Canada) by identifying common or comparable mental health measures and family characteristics. Using […]

This project explores how conflict between parents impacts how children and caregivers manage their emotions in real time. In collaboration with East China Normal University, we will observe emotion regulation patterns in parent-child pairs during structured play tasks designed to simulate both everyday and high-conflict situations. Unresolved parental conflict is a known gateway to intimate […]

This project will develop Canada’s nationwide, open-source simulation model to predict both supply and demand for Personal Support Workers (PSWs), addressing a critical workforce shortage as Canada’s older adult population grows rapidly. Health Workforce Canada will create innovative modelling tools that allow healthcare decision-makers to test different policy scenarios and make evidence-based planning decisions for […]
