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 […]

The study of human body decomposition serves an important role in helping death investigators estimate the time since death, the context of the death, and postmortem movement of deceased individuals. Experimental submergence studies have helped distinguish decomposition effects of marine, freshwater, and laboratory-induced taphonomy from terrestrial contexts, but few actual cases of recovered human remains […]

Transportation problems are one of the most common barriers, after health problems, that prevent older Canadians from participating in more social, recreational, or group activities. United Way Healthy Aging is working closely with the community-based seniors’ services sector to bring solutions to seniors’ transportation. Through the Better at Home program, United Way Healthy Aging supports […]

In order to address the growing need for urban composting of organic matter, Bomford Studios has successfully created a working prototype putrescent organics processing unit (the Loki Digester), which breaks down organic matter into fertilizer suitable for both gardens and large-scale farms. Working with Camosun Innovates, Bomford intends to create a more robust, user-friendly, and […]

This project aims to innovate a Made-in-Canada methodology for producing non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) to replace traditional polyurethane (PU) rigid foam which is produced through a hazardous process from toxic materials such as isocyanates and phosgene.1 We aim to partner with Polychem Consulting Solutions Ltd, a privately held Canadian company based in Vancouver, BC and a […]

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERC) is a process by which carbon dioxide (CO2) is converted into valuable chemical products via chemical reactions driven by electricity. The goal of this project is to fabricate and test catalytic metal electrodes to increase the efficiency of ERC reactors converting carbon dioxide from industrial exhaust gas streams into […]

In the last few years, wildfires’ have become more severe and frequent in British Columbia, Canada. In addition to the direct dangers of flames, threatening wildlife and human society, as well as vital infrastructures, wildfire plumes laden with Biomass-burning (BB) aerosols can adversely affect air quality, weather, and renewable energy generation on a large scale. […]

The precise mass measurement of exotic nuclei is of special significance to the understanding of the nuclear shell structure and paving the way to shed light on how the heavy elements in universe were made from iron. A Multiple-Reflection Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry has been developed at the Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany and installed […]
