Bone cancers are very hard to treat because of poor blood flow in the bones and drugs to treat bone cancers need to be given at high doses and are often limited by side effects. This project will develop new “prodrugs” designed to target and attach to bones and release a potent anti-cancer drug, regorafenib, […]

The proposed project aims to improve the communication of scientific research data by using creative knowledge translation strategies and redesigning CeMCOR’s website. By visualizing complex information, creating engaging materials, and enhancing the website’s user experience, CeMCOR can effectively share their findings with a wider audience. This will increase awareness of women’s health issues, establish CeMCOR […]

The objective for this research project is to support the future international success of the Canadian racialized creatives in the screen industry. There is a lack of available research on content production specifically targeting global audiences, and therefore there are significant gaps for development, promotion and distribution of Canadian screen content that could be filled […]

The industry partner1QBit has access to a processor that uses an adiabatic annealing technique to address a special class of optimization problems for initial application in finance. Optimization problems have a long and broad relevance to challenges faced in the financial sector. The prospect of quantum annealing as a way to innovate in solving finance […]

The project focuses on enhancing a computational multi-physics framework for analyzing or designing engineering systems where more than one physical phenomena are present and interact with each other – for example, fluid-structure interaction or conjugate heat transfer. In cases where the solution algorithm can be unstable or slow to converge, the partner organization has found […]

Physical activities, such as running, cycling, and weightlifting, are typically associated with a subjective feeling of exertion. Such perception of exertion is generally defined as “how heavy and strenuous a physical task is”. People’s subjective feelings of exertion is strongly associated with the task intensity and their energy expenditure. People also often exercise together, both […]

Forestry is a cornerstone for many communities, and maintaining forest ecosystems is critical for habitat conservation and the maintenance of wildlife. The aim of this project is to build knowledge that will aid in promoting sustainable forestry and more resilient forest ecosystems. Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of drought events. In this […]

Low-altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight operations are regulated by safety protocols provided by aviation authorities, particularly in the vicinity of crowded airspace e.g. airports. With a fast-growing market for and penetration of commercial UAVs, the possibility of UAV intrusions within controlled airspace is expected to increase, despite these regulations. At lower altitudes, this increases […]

The investigation of the behaviour of cross-laminated timber connections under extreme force combinations is crucial for assessment of the safety of tall timber structures under unexpected circumstances, such as an explosion or loss of structural elements due to fire. Previously gathered laboratory data proved that the novel, more cost-, material-, and time-efficient method is a […]

At the request of our community partners, Selkirk Innovates would like to refresh and ensure continuity with internships required to support our ongoing technology integration work in the natural resources sectors critical to the Kootenay environment and economy, specifically in forestry, fisheries, hydrology/ geothermal, wildfire mitigation and Mining/Minerals and with particular focus on applying geomatics […]

This project intends to use Canada’s rich forest fiber resources for the development of strong structural products, and improve the performance of cellulose-based products. Such high-performance cellulose-based products will be realized by binding 3D printed cellulose using the partner organization (National Silicates)’s sodium/potassium silicates products. The partner will also benefit significantly from this project as […]

Genetic diseases are a significant health and economic burden worldwide. Treatments for the majority of these diseases remain limited or nonexistent. One treatment approach is directly editing the DNA mutations that cause the diseases. However, getting DNA editors into specific areas and cells in the body can be quite difficult. This project looks at using […]
