Prostate cancer (PCa) cases are expected to double worldwide by 2040, making early and accurate detection essential. Currently, diagnosing PCa is challenging due to systemic biopsy procedures, which have a low sensitivity of 48%. To improve detection and diagnosis, the research group at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is developing advanced imaging techniques such […]

Working with AI, an image processing model will be developed to be utilized on site in sawmills to increase productivity and efficiency of the mill by using a camera connected to an AI model to detect irregularities in the production line. The project will begin with image collection and labelling then move into model creation […]

This project aims to improve a tool that helps doctors detect rare diseases by making it easier to find important information in patient records. The intern will work on creating a system that uses advanced computer models to organize and retrieve data from electronic medical records (EMR). By doing this, the tool will become more […]

This project, led by PINA Creation Inc. in collaboration with Simon Fraser University (SFU), focuses on developing a new zinc oxide (ZnO) nano ink for use in organic solar cells. Traditional ZnO layers require high temperatures and complex fabrication, making them expensive and difficult to scale. By creating a low-cost, solution-based ZnO ink, this project […]

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 […]
