The GeneSight (GS) Psychotropic Test (AssureRx Health, Inc.) measures individual variations in drug-related genes and recommends optimal drug choices for individual patients. A clinical study will be conducted to validate novel gene markers of antipsychotic-induced weight gain for use in an enhanced version of GS. Sarah Groleau will be responsible for genotyping DNA from 600 […]

These two internships (one English, one French) will contribute to an academic partnership with People for Education in order to develop a pan-Canadian survey of educational resources and opportunitiesl. The survey will fill a gap in comparable, interprovincial data on the connection between school context and educational resources / policy implementation at the school level, […]

FetoSafe is an AI-powered startup designed to predict whether small-molecule drugs can cross the placental barrier and reach the fetus. This remains a major challenge in maternal healthcare, as most medications lack reliable data on fetal exposure. FetoSafe uses only the SMILES representation of a compound, capturing its chemical structure, to estimate the risk of […]

Violent online content and radicalization have become so pervasive that it is contributing to the polarization of political discourse, a fraying of the social fabric, and to widespread human rights violations. Moonshot is devoted to ending online harms and protecting vulnerable individuals. It has developed and built technological tools to help governments identify and disrupt […]

The current landscape of human resources faces significant challenges in streamlining job documentation and job evaluation processes, which are critical for consistent, efficient, and defensible compensation-related decisions. Laulima Consulting Inc., as the partner organization, aims to overcome this by developing an AI-powered tool that supports the end-to-end creation and evaluation of job descriptions. The core […]

We are seeking to bring to market a new moisture barrier layer for firefighting and other protective gear. Currently used PFAS based moisture barriers dominate the market but are responsible for causing both cancer and microplastic water contamination. Efforts to find effective alternatives are hampered by the need for replacement products to meet high performance […]

In Canada, greenhouse operations heavily rely on fossil fuels. This research proposes designing an optimized pilot simulated rooftop greenhouse, showcasing the feasibility of a combined solar photovoltaic (PV)–heat pump (HP) energy system for Canadian weather conditions. Key innovations include open-source models for Canadian greenhouse heating/cooling loads, the integrated PV-HP system, and the use of open-source […]

Cette recherche doctorale examine le rôle de la communication interne dans la croissance socio-économique pérenne des startups (Fintech) en Afrique de l’Ouest (Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire et Nigeria). S’appuyant sur l’approche constitutive de la communication, elle scrute comment la communication interne (dés)organise les dynamiques internes des startups et leur croissance. Positionnant la startup comme une […]

This project will help an intern develop Lumos, a made-in-Canada light therapy glasses venture that aims to improve sleep and alertness. With support from the Lab2Market program, the intern will gain practical experience in identifying target users, developing a go-to-market strategy, and collecting early product feedback. Lab2Market will provide mentorship, training, and access to a […]

Forensic analysis of biological evidence typically takes weeks, sometimes years. Through years of research, we have developed tools that can automate the workflow in a forensic lab, enabling processing complex samples such as sexual assault evidence in 4 hours. BioRush enables forensic labs to treat all cases as rush cases. BioRush integrates and automates all […]

Contemporary machine learning has been very successfully applied to processing static images and words in consumer applications, resulting in billions of dollars in recent acquisitions of machine learning companies by Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Google. However, applications to dynamic information (e.g. movies, controlling robotics) has been less well-developed. In this project, will develop and apply […]
