The RBC Patient and Family Learning Space (PFLS) at CAMH provides free mental health education, workshops, and support to patients, families, and the community. As our programming grows, we need a stronger digital presence to reach more people. This project, funded by Mitacs, will involve two graduate public health interns researching and developing a digital […]

Meningiomas represent the most common type of brain tumours arising from the brain itself, accounting for about 30% of cases. Effective treatments like surgery and radiation exist, yet patients may continue to suffer from symptoms that lower their quality of life (QOL). Currently used tools for measuring QOL are not specific to the unique needs […]

This project focuses on developing a robotic arm manipulator capable of accurately cutting plant leaves for genetic analysis, improving the efficiency and precision of agricultural plant research. In current studies, researchers must manually cut leaves from hundreds of plants, a time-consuming process that introduces inconsistencies due to varying plant conditions over time. Automating this task […]

Comprehensive Healthcare at Home (CHAH Technology) is a Toronto-based health-tech startup leveraging AI to enhance home-based healthcare. The company develops predictive models that monitor patient health, detect early warning signs, and facilitate timely interventions to prevent hospitalizations. The healthcare system in Canada faces growing challenges due to an aging population and high public healthcare costs. […]

The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, part of the University Health Network (UHN), is Canada’s largest cancer hospital and one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world. This internship will take place in the Guided Therapeutics (GTx) lab, part of the cancer centre’s research institutes. The GTx lab is developing novel devices, algorithms, […]

This project focuses on improving transformer-based models for quantitative finance (QFin) by addressing key limitations such as inadequate long-term memory, lack of sentiment analysis, and difficulties in handling multimodal data. While transformers have achieved breakthroughs in fields like protein folding and natural language processing, their application in finance still faces challenges. Existing financial transformers struggle […]

A common symptom of Parkinson’s Disease is freezing of gait (FoG), which entails that patients freeze while walking and cannot continue to walk. A way to stop the FoG is to prove some sort of external stimulus (cueing). This project entails the creation of a device to detect FoG (based on previous devices) and provide […]

This project focuses on developing advanced catalysts for green hydrogen production by using MXene, a highly conductive nanomaterial, as a support for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. Efficient and durable OER catalysts are essential for water electrolysis, a key technology for producing hydrogen as a clean energy source. By combining expertise from the University of […]

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are made of software components interacting with their physical environment. They are used in many domains: Automotive, energy, healthcare, and many others. Within the automotive domain, the need for software is expanding. Software is transitioning from supporting infotainment systems to driving functionalities (e.g., cruise controller, automated pilots). As the need for software […]

This project is focused on developing a novel, plant-based appetite suppressant called ZAP-010. Originally synthesized for agricultural use, ZAP-010 is a phytohormone that we have shown to reduce food intake and promote sustained weight loss in rodent models. Over 60% of Canadian adults are classified as overweight or obese and current treatment options, such as […]

This project supports the commercialization of INSITE (In Situ Tissue Engineering Bioprinting System), a handheld bioprinting platform developed in the Guenther Lab at the University of Toronto. INSITE enables point-of-care delivery of personalized bioinks directly into skin wounds, offering a novel, autograft-free alternative for treating full-thickness burns and chronic wounds. Current gold-standard treatments rely on […]
