For owners of high-value horses (>$100K), colic is one of the biggest challenges, as it can cause a horse to die within days. SolR Consulting has developed a system that can measure and archive a horse’s hydration history as well as reports of apparent state of health completed by the staff who care for it. […]

A stoma is a small, surgically created opening on the abdomen that is used to remove body waste into a collection bag. Stomas are common in procedures related to cancer, injury, and bowel and bladder issues. However, stoma operations introduce challenges. Patients often experience fear and anxiety prior to surgery, and must typically stay in […]

STEMCELL offers a suite of GMP reagents suitable for human T-cell culture. The project will test this suite of reagents in a lentiviral transduction workflow and optimize protocols with these reagents in the UBC workflow for the generation of CAR-T Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products. STEMCELL will use the knowledge gained in this project to answer […]

Le projet proposé vise à intégrer des dossiers médicaux électroniques dans la formation pratique des étudiantes et étudiants en sciences infirmières à l’Université de Moncton. Grâce à l’utilisation de simulations réalistes, ce projet permettra aux étudiants de se familiariser avec des outils numériques semblables à ceux utilisés en milieu hospitalier. L’objectif est d’améliorer leurs compétences […]

The GigaBIT experiment is a telescope with the resolution of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, but with a much larger field of view. When GigaBIT is flown on a several month long mission on a stratospheric balloon, GigaBIT will be the most capable telescope in the world for multi-color visible light observations. The Interns will work […]

The Kouchibouguac and Kouchibouguacis Rivers located in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada had wild Atlantic Salmon populations that supported both a commercial and recreational fishery. Further, Indigenous peoples traditionally had a subsistence fishery for food and ceremonial purposes. Today, these fisheries are closed or severely restricted. Efforts are being made to increase the abundance of […]

This project aims to improve alarm systems in industrial facilities to help plant operators respond more effectively during abnormal situations by developing advanced, data-driven solutions. While alarm systems are designed to notify operators of abnormalities or equipment failures, in practice, operators often face an overwhelming number of alarms, many of which are unnecessary or repetitive. […]

This project explores how special features called “spin defects” in a two-dimensional material known as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) can be used for quantum sensing. Quantum sensors can detect very small changes in magnetic or electric fields, and this research will help determine if h-BN is a good material for building them. The goal is […]

Digital technologies and practices—including social networking—are now pervasive and have been adopted society-wide. This creates new possibilities for engagement and interaction among academic professionals, research partners, collaborators, stakeholders, students, and additional members of the public. Academic organizations like the not-for-profit Iter Canada are leaders in facilitating the engagement of Canadian scholarship in global conversation. This […]

In many low-resource communities, children who are treated for serious infections still face a high risk of dying after they leave the hospital. Most of these deaths happen within weeks or months, often due to poverty and poor access to follow-up care. To address this, a team from BC Children’s Hospital and the University of […]

This project brings together Davey Textile Solutions and the Multifunctional Design and Additive Manufacturing (MDAM) Lab at the University of Alberta to enhance textile production using additive manufacturing technology. Traditional tooling in textile factories is often generic and not optimized for ergonomics or specific tasks. This project addresses these limitations by designing and 3D printing […]
