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 […]

Patients when they are discharged from hospital following a stroke can benefit greatly from a program of rehabilitation to help restore function. Often one of the patient’s arms is affected and this affects many activities of daily living. For patients who live in rural areas it is often very difficult to get access to expert […]

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 […]

The past two years have shown increasing distrust through online division, polarizing protests and strikes, and destructive riots. This problem has gotten worse due to our unverified, disorganized, and time consuming citizen and stakeholder engagement systems, especially social media, focus groups and town halls, and voting. In order to solve the problem of increasing distrust […]

Urban population is facing unprecedented growth resulting in the need for additional agricultural resources. Traditional farming practices seem vulnerable to cater to urbanities’ needs, placing an additional burden on the food and agriculture system. Furthermore, the unsettling environmental impact of traditional farming practices has aroused the metropolitan population to search for alternatives, such as indoor […]

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 […]

Oco uses Carbon Upcycling’s technology to offer our partners some of the easiest to integrate material decarbonization solutions on the market. Oco offers low carbon material solutions to consumer products brands […]

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 […]

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 […]

The City of Edmonton (CoE) and the Governors of the University of Alberta (UofA) realize the shared interests and vision of our institutions through the ‘City of Edmonton and Post-Secondary Senior Advisory Committee (PS-SAC)’ engagement program. As such, the UofA and the CoE have prioritized leveraging each other’s strengths and interests to advance social and […]
