Freshwater fish contribute to the economic and ecological wellbeing of Canada; however, they are in decline globally. To mitigate those threats, accurate health status data for individual fish is critical. Since fish respond to changes in their habitat through gene expression, unexpected changes in gene expression patterns are powerful indicators of fish stress and declining […]

The escalating energy demands and increasing impact of emissions on the environment have driven the need for new and environment-friendly alternative fuels in place of the commonly used yet hazardous and depleting fossil fuels. Identification of the suitable hydrogen production method is dependent on two major analysis methods: the analysis of the resources available in […]

The project will develop and validate a reagent-free UV-Vis absorption-based sensor for the direct, real-time quantification of nitrogen in agricultural watersheds. AUG’s machine learning-based multiple regression models will also be developed to process the real-time UV-Vis absorption spectral data and enhance sensor performance suitable for continuous field operation. This project will lead to an innovative […]

PharmAla have been focusing on developing MDMA (ecstasy) like drug compounds. MDMA assisted psychotherapy for treatment of PTSD received Breakthrough Therapy designation in August 2017. It is currently being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials. The toxicological biochemical mechanism of MDMA and MDMA like compounds should be better understood. Because of this gap an extensive […]

Neutron beams are versatile and irreplaceable 21st century research tools. Following the closure of the National Universal Research (NRU) reaction in 2018, Canadian researchers and industry lost key neutron beam capabilities for industrial Research and Development and fundamental research alike. The proposed project is a effort to rebuild neutron beam capabilities in Canada. The design […]

This Mitacs project will create a custom-built survey tool and a recommendation system that generates alerts where an individual’s unmet physical, mental, social or spiritual needs are detected. A personal report with feedback on possible steps to reduce unmet needs or make progress on achieving goals that are aligned with personal preferences and interests is […]

The project shall improve the status reporting and process compliant working within automotive embedded projects by connecting and automating existing tools, procedures and solutions.

This project focuses on the visible minorities with higher education or work skills (e.g., international graduates or skilled workers immigrants) and investigates the barriers for these immigrants to find a job at their level of skill and education. More specifically, this research seeks to understand how much racialized culture plays a part in recruiting diverse […]

Cannabinoids, especially cannabidiol show promise as medicinal agents and are often now proscribed for a variety of indications. One of the major challenges is the lack of a standard dose, and safe ways to ingest. Smoking dried plant material causes harmful particles to enter the lungs, while homemade “edibles” can both vary in their potency […]
