Initial studies on the Kisameet Bay Clay Deposit by Dr. Ernest Hauser of MIT in the early 1950’s showed the unique properties of this clay deposit. To build on this early research and make clear a distinction between Kisolite and other clay’s on the market, we have chosen to invest in modern research. As such, […]

Despite many recent advances in biotechnology, the methods for monitoring water quality remain largely unchanged for the past century. We will use next-generation DNA sequencing technology to guide the design of novel DNA-based tests to improve sensitivity and specificity of water quality testing. There are two challenges which will be addressed by the intern: DNA […]

HIV-1 remains a global health challenge, with over 35 million people infected. The high rates of turnover and evolutionary adaptability exhibited by HIV-1 pose a particular challenge to the use of antiretrovirals, as well as the development of a vaccine. Our focus is to understand the dynamics of two of the most commonly tracked clinical […]

Healthcare is in the midst of a digital transformation taking advantage of AI technology, although integration has been slow due to concerns about privacy, issues with workflows, and keeping patients engaged. There’s a need for well-designed AI that automates tasks and keeps patients engaged. Health Compass is an AI tool that helps healthcare by taking […]

Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. Our company was founded in 2016, and has grown to approximately 200 employees today, with headquarters in Toronto, Canada. Xanadu develops the full stack of quantum computing (QC) technology: theory, hardware, cloud service, software and applications. This project is in […]

This Mitacs internship program is targeted to recruit a top mechanical engineering student to research and design a state-of-the-art braking system for the Greenheart’s high-speed ziplines. The intern will conduct literature review of different braking systems used in the zipline industry and develop robust numerical models to examine the performance of existing designs. Using the […]

The proposed project is to research the steps needed to take in order to build and sustain an accelerator/incubator in the health care sector, which will provide core processes and steps to the partner organization. The following steps would be undertaken: o Analysis of other successful incubators/accelerators in the health care space. o Partnership wish […]
