Half of all cancer patients receive radiotherapy, and of this group 15% will develop a tissue injury, or side effect, from the treatment. At present, however, there are no reliable methods for predicting a patient’s response to radiation therapy. We have studied mice with different genetic make ups and determined that there are certain genes […]

Tranq Sleep Care is focused on providing high-quality sleep care and creating new innovative solutions to diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Tranq is currently developing an online web app that aims to help people suffering from insomnia. The challenge in delivering the treatment through an app is that it must be made such that patients […]

The objective of this project is to develop and execute a sales and marketing strategy for Wisertech Solutions. Wisertech is a producer of highly advanced sustainable marine equipment. As a start-up company that has been mainly focused on R&D projects since its conception, there is a clear need to develop a sales and marketing strategy […]

A nucleus of tin composed of 50 protons and 66 neutrons, called 116Sn, is the subject of our investigation. Only certain energies are available to nuclei at any one time, and when a nucleus reaches one of these energy states, it acquires features unique to that state. To create the examined nucleus, a beam of […]

There is increasing evidence suggesting a link exists between the gut immune system and several autoimmune diseases, including diabetes. The industrial partner of this project, enGene, has developed an effective non-viral based technology for the delivery of genes to the intestine. enGene has demonstrated the feasibility of delivering IL-10, which is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, to […]

Engineered dissipation is an important technique to prepare quantum resources, such as spin-squeezed states, for quantum sensing and computing. Compared with traditional coherent approach, engineered dissipation is generally less demanding in control precision and more robust against noise. However, the efficiency dissipative spin squeezing can be affected by unwanted interaction. It would be highly desirable […]

Realistic quantum computers unavoidably suffer from physical imperfections, such as environmental influence and imprecise control. An imperfect quantum computer will introduce computational error, so quantum error correction (QEC) is necessary to improve information accuracy. Standard QEC assumes an implementing circuit that involves a typical set of logic gates. However, not all the standard gates can […]

Electrical activity in the heart is controlled by the concerted activity of many proteins called ion-channels that regulate the transfer of different ions across cell membranes. Recently, researchers in biomedical science have identified that a particular component of sodium carrying ion-channel activity (called the persistent or late sodium current also known as INa(P)) played a […]

The innovation of plant cell and tissue culture (TC) techniques has supported plant propagation programs and allowed for the development of new ornamental varieties. Van Belle Nursery is interested in adapting TC as a method of cultivation but lack the technical expertise and understanding of infrastructure requirements to establish an on-site TC program. Specifically, they […]

Stem cells and other pluripotent cells are under active investigation for the development of new therapeutic treatments to regenerate and repair diseased and damaged tissues. Published studies indicate that some mesenchymal cells derived from adult human hair follicles exhibit stem cell properties and can form different cells types if they are given specific biological signals […]

The human voice is often referred to as a unique print for each individual and contains biomarkers that have been linked to various diseases ranging from Parkinson’s disease to dementia, mood disorders and cancers. For voice to emerge as one of the biomarkers of health, there is a pressing need for large, high quality, multi-institutional […]

Hard and transparent 3D printing materials are in demand in applications such as durable device passivation and transparent architectures. To replace 3d printable glass or ceramic, which has the disadvantage of undergoing high-temperature post-treatment after printing, the study of hard, transparent, and thermally resistant 3D printing materials will be conducted in this project. To achieve […]
