Implementation of design controls through Quality Management System

Over 250,000 Canadians suffer from epilepsy, a debilitating neurological condition with no known cure. For many patients, the only solution is the surgical removal of the seizure-trigger zones in the brain. Unfortunately, current electrode systems that are designed to record brain activity and target the seizure foci are highly invasive, not very precise, and do […]

Characterization of ionomer properties of the catalyst layers of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) Year Two

The state-of-the-art polymer electrolyte fuel cells have catalyst layers (CLs) made of Platinum catalyst on carbon support (Pt/C) bound together by proton-conducting polymer or ionomer. To overcome the challenges of high cost of Platinum catalyst ad corrosion of carbon support, alternative materials for catalyst and catalyst support are being considered. The interaction of ionomer with […]

Employing heterologous thioesterases and acyl transferases expression for the development of coconut-like canola seed-oil

Establishing canola seed oil with high medium chain saturated fatty acids for North American consumers remains demanding. Currently the entire oil that is rich with saturated fatty acids is imported from Asian and South American countries. Canola mostly harbors mono-unsaturated fatty acids with minimal polyunsaturated fatty acids. We are working towards making canola with maximum […]

Homelessness Prevention in Youth and Families Across Six Canadian Cities

Each year in Canada, approximately 40,000 people under the age of 24 will experience homelessness. Youth experiencing homelessness are highly vulnerable to crime, violence and sexual assault. Once homeless, youth are at high risk for multiple episodes of homelessness or chronic homelessness into adulthood. Interventions must be youth-centered, low-barrier, strengths-based, and prioritize diversion and/or family […]

Synthesis of chelating Bis(NHC)-Phosphinidine ligands

The transformation of renewable feedstocks such as carbon dioxide, is closely linked to homogenous catalysis. In homogenous catalysis transition metal complexes, containing a metal center and a of ligands (modulating the reactivity of these complexes) are key to achieve challenging transformations. This project aims to synthesize unique phosphorus-containing molecules (ligands) that can bind to transition […]

Protein profiling of blood samples of patients with mild traumatic brain injury

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and sports-related concussion have complex and variable neuronal pathophysiology. Despite extensive attempts for discovery and identification of protein biomarkers in the blood of concussion patients, the success of proteins markers is limited due to the heterogeneity and complexity of concussion. There are still no reliable protein biomarkers that can accurately […]
