Evaluating New Methods for Monitoring Cognitive Health

Copeman Healthcare Centre is engaged in a multi-year research and development program in the area of cognitive health. Cognitive health is a surrogate marker for brain health. All other technologies, such as biomarkers, electrophysiology, structural brain imaging, and functional brain imaging attempt to measure damage to the brain. Moreover, these technologies do not measure or […]

Smart Sheet: Pressure Ulcer Prevention Technology

Pressure ulcers are a major health concern around the world, affecting individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in particular. Pressure ulcers occur when the blood supply to the skin and underlying tissue is compromised, leading to cell death and potentially fatal infections. In this project, we are developing a soft, flexible and stretchable pressure […]

Guided Catheter System Based on Smart Polymeric Brush Coating for Vascular Surgery

The main cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is narrowing of blood vessels due to atherosclerosis. In such cases stents are chronically implanted in -arteries to physically expand and scaffold the vessels. Each year, ~90,OOO stents are implanted in Canadians. All these minimally invasive procedures involve the use of a catheter. Currently available catheter tubes advance […]

Gold mineralization at the Engineer Mine, northern British Columbia: Its causes and consequences for local and regional gold exploration

At the Engineer Property in northern British Columbia, gold-bearing epithermal (shallow heat) quartz-carbonate veins feature electrum (gold-silver alloy) and roscoelite (a vanadium mica), an association which has not been well studied in similar gold deposits. The igneous heat source for the veins has not been proven, but is believed to be the Eocene Sloko Group […]

Understanding diverse COVID-19 outcomes at the cellular and molecular level

Approximately 40% of COVID-19 survivors experience the Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (LONG-COVID-19) or Long COVID. It is currently not possible to predict who will become long-haulers and continue to experience symptoms that last for weeks or even months. The goal of this project is to better understand the molecular underpinnings of diverse patient outcomes in […]

A Supply Chain Traceability System for Seafood Distribution

In this project, we are going to design blockchain networks and design an interaction between IoT devices. In this way, we can update the location of tokenized asset which is our food product in this project. Blockchain network can provide traceability and transparency, so we decided to use blockchain because of these features. The partner […]

Clayoquot Sound Chinook and Sockeye Acoustic Smolt Monitoring & Zooplankton Assessment – Ha‘uukmin (Kennedy) Watershed

Suu?aa (Chinook salmon) and mi?aat (sockeye salmon) populations have been in decline due to climate change and other human-caused impacts. However, managing these populations and associated fishing activities is often complicated by a lack of information. This purpose of this project is to gather more information on suu?aa and mi?aat populations in the Ha’uukmin (Kennedy) […]

ALT TEX Circular Textile-grade Polymer Synthesis

Generating 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions the fashion industry’s heavy reliance on synthetic, petroleum-derived, fabrics such as polyester, is projected to create over a quarter of the world’s carbon emissions by 2050, according to the Ellen MacArthur foundation. Unlike its bio-based counterparts, such as cotton, wool or silk, polyester does not biodegrade, and its […]
