Our project is about creating a truly usable bone glue that can safely and effectively bond to bone while naturally breaking down in the body. Right now, our bone cement doesn’t adhere well enough on its own, so we’re adding special additives to improve its adhesive properties and make it more reliable for medical use. […]

The continued rise in global temperatures, driven by excessive greenhouse gas emissions, has brought carbon dioxide (CO2) to the forefront of global challenges. As the most abundant greenhouse gas, CO2 presents both a critical issue and a unique opportunity: its removal and conversion into value-added products have become key goals for scientists, industries, and policymakers. […]

Many new mothers face uncertainty and a lack of support when making decisions about how to feed their newborns, especially in the early postpartum period. While breastfeeding is widely recognized for its benefits—such as supporting infant immune health, cognitive development, and mother-baby bonding—access to consistent guidance can vary greatly. Studies show that mothers with access […]

This project will develop Canada’s nationwide, open-source simulation model to predict both supply and demand for Personal Support Workers (PSWs), addressing a critical workforce shortage as Canada’s older adult population grows rapidly. Health Workforce Canada will create innovative modelling tools that allow healthcare decision-makers to test different policy scenarios and make evidence-based planning decisions for […]

This project aims to help Numr Inc. better understand when and why customers behave in unexpected ways—like suddenly leaving a service or becoming dissatisfied—even when they seem similar to happy or loyal customers. The intern will build a prototype tool that groups similar customers together and then finds the ones acting differently in terms of […]

Many bodies of water are facing a decline in concentrations of oxygen in the water. This is mainly because human activities have increased the amount of nutrients and organic matter entering these water bodies, which in turn fuels microbial activity that consumes available oxygen. When oxygen levels drop, the health of the ecosystem suffers, and […]

The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada) is seeking two Mitacs interns to support the organization in two of its ongoing research projects that are focused on leading-edge technologies: (1) advancing regional knowledge and cooperation on technology-related policy issues, including artificial intelligence (AI); and (2) investigating ‘emerging issues’ that will help define cooperation between […]

Collins Executive Search (CES) is a small, specialized firm focused on executive-level placements across industries. While the firm has a strong reputation in Canada, its limited digital presence—including an outdated website, minimal social media activity, and no structured digital marketing—has constrained growth, particularly in the U.S. market. This project has five key components: 1. AI-Driven […]

The Cultivating a Thriving Workforce project at St. Joseph’s Health Centre of Sudbury project aims to address the critical health human resources staffing crisis through a comprehensive three-phase approach. The project will evaluate recruitment effectiveness, define and communicate a compelling Employee Value Proposition (EVP), and develop a human capital workforce planning strategy. Expected benefits include […]

The expanding use of non-traditional vehicles has led to increasing trends of injuries and admissions to hospitals in many countries. Since these vehicles represent a new mode of transportation, the impact of their use is not clear due to limited number of studies that have been conducted, especially in Canada with its unique environments and […]

Gaia Refinery is a Canadian cleantech company focused on sustainable resource recovery and carbon management. Its core mission is to develop low-impact technologies for converting waste carbon streams into high-value products such as bio-carbon materials, fuels, and catalysts. In collaboration with Lambton College, Gaia Refinery is supporting this project to explore the development of low-cost, […]

This project focuses on developing smart materials that can move or change shape in response to light and magnetic fields with the synthesis of Thiolacrylate-Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCE) with the incorporation of superparamagnetic or ferromagnetic particles. These materials, called liquid crystal elastomers, have potential applications in soft robots, which are flexible machines that can be […]
