The goal of this partnership is to conduct preliminary research on developing a hand-held biosensor built from state-of-the-art silicon photonics technology. The multiplexed architecture of our biosensor will allow us to simultaneously assay for different infections; it will be a general platform. UBC has developed a new architecture for low-cost multiplexed testing (patent pending). This […]

Globally, Canada has the highest prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Diagnosis relies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor lesion development over time in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. Despite its wide utility, MRI is not easily accessible. MRI requires a designated medical facility and expertise? is expensive, and needs to be done […]

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens are ubiquitous in hospitals and community settings. New antibiotics against unexploited targets are urgently needed to better control such infections. The proposed research aims to identify novel, drug targets and therapeutics for antibiotic-resistant nosocomial pathogens, capitalizing on a proprietary indel-targeting approach that takes advantage of structural differences between homologous essential human […]

Covid-19 has brought mental health concerns to the forefront. The basic human need for connection has been explicitly recognized through this pandemic. Additionally, the impact of isolation and loneliness have received mainstream media attention and a recent study released in Dec 2020 states that Canadians’ mental health is eroding as the pandemic continues. As an […]

Biochar is charcoal that is used as a soil amendment to increase plant productivity and as a means of keeping carbon out of the atmosphere. Although a number of voluntary carbon standards allow for soil carbon projects to generate carbon offsets, no protocol has been developed for biochar. The overall objective of this research project […]
