As a leader in the production and use of renewable energy, Canada is committed to reducing its carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050. In addition, Canada will ban the sale of fuel-burning new cars and light-duty trucks from 2035. To reach this goal, it is very urgent to develop new energy […]

In this project we will develop an intelligent advertisement system for Bell. First, we try to better understand each customer’s preferences through the content they watch. In order to achieve this, we extract context attributes from the media content that a customer watches. The context attribute can be extracted by analyzing the video, audio, and […]

The proposed NBIF RIF project will establish a UNB Marine Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence (MAMCE) in Atlantic Canada. The focus of the centre is the marine and defence sectors with vision for global marine technology trend for 2030, which includes additive manufacturing, and advanced materials. MAMCE’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of metal […]

The Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) is a not-for-profit public-private partnership research organization that aims to accelerate the discovery of new medicines through open science. This Mitacs cluster will bring together SGC’s industry and academic collaborators to work together towards new and affordable medicines for challenging diseases. Sixty-three post-doctoral fellows will spend 2-3 years developing open […]

The goal of this partnership is to develop tools for multi-modal neuroimaging acquisition and analysis. Specifically, we propose to develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coil array to allow for sensitive functional MRI (fMRI) detection and minimal interferences to concurrently recorded electroencephalography (EEG). This setup will be used to record brain responses to complex and […]

Remote sensing technologies have changed the way we are able to map and understand our planet. For ocean floor mapping, acoustic remote sensing technologies are the only effective methods for broadscale mapping of the seabed. Acoustic mapping technologies have advanced tremendously over the past two decades, and continue to improve, offering increasingly higher data resolution […]

Virus based therapies represent a powerful new tool in the fight against cancer. However, to ensure their safety and efficacy, we need a better understanding of how these new therapies activate our immune system to help eliminate tumours. These studies include three internships which will: 1) investigate how the vaccinia virus activates immune cells in […]

Mining for metals, such as nickel used in steel and batteries, results in a waste product known as tailings. These tailings are the left-over rocks stored in huge piles often hundred of hectares in size and are found throughout Canada. Few plants grow on tailings and they are costly to maintain in order prevent damage […]

The current pandemic is caused by a nasty virus that infects mostly the lungs via a receptor critical for the virus to bind to lung cells. Knowing how the virus binds to its lung receptor will enable us to synthesize small experimental drugs that will be investigated further for interesting therapeutic properties. This proposal focuses […]

L’innovation est un élément clé dans le développement d’une société. Elle permet de trouver de nouvelles solutions pouvant répondre plus adéquatement et durablement aux besoins sociaux. C’est dans cette perspective que l’équipe de la Fondation de la Neurodiversité met sur pied le Centre d’innovation pour les enfants autistes. Les données probantes permettent d’observer qu’un travail […]

It might be occurred to all of us to have a wearable healthcare device with endless battery life. Think now this will happen by a cloth equipped with the harvesting units to convert our body motions to electricity. In other words, while we are doing our daily routines, any body movement, such as bending the […]

One important strategy that is helping to prevent collapse of salmon stocks is the use of hatcheries. Hatchery raised salmon are released into streams to help supplement the wild population. An impediment to hatchery efforts is that for the first two weeks after their release, hatchery-reared salmon often show high rates of mortality due to […]
