We are filling a gap in the legal community in Edmonton, by providing law students with an opportunity to apply their legal knowledge to help start-ups solve their legal concerns as they scale-up. This project will help fully launch the Clinic, which provides start-ups with legal information and assistance. For example, information may relate to […]

Online shopping has been growing rapidly in the last decade, especially since the COVID pandemic when citizens tend to stay home to avoid crowded areas, e.g., shopping mall. ShopHopper is on a mission to modernize local shopping by making it as easy to shop locally as it is to shop on Amazon. We are building […]

The past two years have shown increasing distrust through online division, polarizing protests and strikes, and destructive riots. This problem has gotten worse due to our unverified, disorganized, and time consuming citizen and stakeholder engagement systems, especially social media, focus groups and town halls, and voting. In order to solve the problem of increasing distrust […]

Multiomics studies of the human microbiome have an enormous potential for understanding the mechanism of biological processes involving the microbial community and the metabolites produced by gut microbiota. We will apply a multiomics strategy to clinical fecal samples using a novel collection device to stabilize fecal metabolites at room temperature, thereby making the standard practise […]

GelEntroCeutics have developed an intrinsically acid-resistant formulation of gelatin that was used to make fish oil softgels which are acid-resistant per se and do not need to go through the coating process. This achievement is a major advantage over the usual coating of fish oil capsules with gastric acid-resistant layers that is susceptible to deformation […]

Pressure vessels made entirely from fiber-reinforced polymer can generate substantial cost and performance improvements leading to their greater acceptance as a storage medium for pressurized alternative fuels (e.g. hydrogen). Inherent anisotropy and inhomogeneity of fiberreinforced composites usually induces functional failure (i.e. leakage) that precedes structural failure by bursting. Functional failure is attributed mainly to transverse […]

This project will result in the development of a simple, reliable, and rapid system for detecting E. coli bacteria in water for public health and environmental monitoring. We will use paper-based microfluidics fabricated by common laser-jet printing techniques. When E. coli is detected by the device, a color change becomes visible and can be quantified […]

This proposed research project is about development of new bone-targeting drug called PTHPEG- BP, this new compound will overcome shortages of current clinical peptide hormone PTH, and show better treatment efficacy and lower price then the latter; several new technologies will be used on research of this PTH, such as micro Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT), […]

Outdoor winter sport athletes face unique weather conditions that might include wind, snow and rain. These weather conditions can occur at a variety of air temperatures, ranging from above zero to -20 C. The colder the air temperature the more challenges winter sport athletes face in warming up for competition and then staying warm. The […]

Stockpiles of scrap tire grow larger every day in Alberta due to heavy industry. Safe and healthy disposal of scrap tires requires costly municipal landfill space. Using tire derived aggregates (TDA) for construction applications such as road embankment and insulation layers is of great attention and interest to Alberta’s government. Frost penetration beneath the pavement […]

This fellowship will develop next generation Cell Pouch™ technology, through testing novel animal study (anti-cell death agents, insulin-producing mouse stem cells and islet health (metabolic engraftment efficiency) in parallel to a safety and efficacy (Phase I/II) clinical study of the Cell Pouch™ in Type 1 diabetic in which an in vitro measure of islet health […]

Quantitative interpretation of magnetic data through inversion for general distributions of magnetic susceptibility has played an increasingly important role in mineral exploration in recent years. The goal of the proposed project is to develop efficient and robust computational simulation tools for the inversion of magnetization at a specified depth using ground/airborne magnetic data. A numerical […]
