Understanding the needs of patients and the gaps in the current treatment options is critical to creating improved products for these conditions. This project will identify conditions where there is a strong product-market fit using OptimEyes’ proprietary drug delivery nanoparticle platform to address these limitations. These results will inform in-lab R&D activities that will create […]

This project involves a student intern working with QReserve, a Canadian technology company providing resource management software, to evaluate and enhance our web accessibility standards. The intern, a Junior Software Developer, will collaborate with our development team to analyze the current software, identify areas for improvement, and implement changes to ensure the platform is accessible […]

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are made of software components interacting with their physical environment. They are used in many domains: Automotive, energy, healthcare, and many others. Within the automotive domain, the need for software is expanding. Software is transitioning from supporting infotainment systems to driving functionalities (e.g., cruise controller, automated pilots). As the need for software […]

The Harvest Platform is a fuel-less, carbon-free water heating solution designed to replace traditional gas-based heating systems in restaurant and hotel environments. The technology harvests and recycles waste heat from commercial cooking appliances, such as ovens and fryers, to reduce operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective and scalable way. Based on a […]

We are developing a new treatment for ischemic stroke using a modified version of a natural anticoagulant called ADAMTS13. Existing stroke therapies are limited by a short treatment window and can carry serious risks. This new approach aims to safely extend the time patients can receive treatment, increasing access, especially for those in rural or […]

The proposed research project investigates how the Telepresence technology (Connected North) has an impact on Northern students’ and teachers’ educational experience. Our goal is to assess the impact of its implementation within three contexts: connecting students to students, connecting students to experts, and connecting teachers to teachers. To this end, we will administer questionnaires to […]

This project is focused on developing a novel, plant-based appetite suppressant called ZAP-010. Originally synthesized for agricultural use, ZAP-010 is a phytohormone that we have shown to reduce food intake and promote sustained weight loss in rodent models. Over 60% of Canadian adults are classified as overweight or obese and current treatment options, such as […]

This project supports the commercialization of INSITE (In Situ Tissue Engineering Bioprinting System), a handheld bioprinting platform developed in the Guenther Lab at the University of Toronto.
