Anticoagulation with Warfarin is indicated and required for post-operative cardiovascular patients. However, it is a high-risk medication with a narrow therapeutic range where sub-optimal dosing can lead to complications and even death. While multiple risk factors have been associated to Warfarin sensitivity, the prediction of optimal Warfarin dosing strategies remains ineffective and requires trial and […]

From its particular focus on HIV/AIDS, Remediating the AIDS Archive looks to historical methods of activist information-sharing through filmmaking and film festivals. This project is not simply historical in nature, however. It also interrogates the ways in which the history of HIV/AIDS is remembered through LGBT2Q+-based cultural representation, the ways in which the HIV/AIDS crisis […]

ApoSys is applying the new method to develop an affordable north seeking gyroscopic compass for multiple applications. The cost of such device is too high to be used in many industrial processes. For example the mining industry the device is shared by a few groups of workers to reduce the cost. It has problems for […]

We are proposing an innovative platform (The Airbox) for vertical/indoor farming using UV-LED lighting. The Airbox offers a self-contained, highly controlled environment with vertical farming techniques in conjunction with hydroponic methods all in a very compact footprint. We wish to optimize the Airbox for medical Cannabis applications, and extend its applicability to other plants and […]

Two overarching approaches to allocate the aggregate risk capital stand out nowadays. These are the top-down approach that entails that the allocation exercise is imposed by the corporate centre, and the bottom-up approach that implies that the allocation of the aggregate risk to business units is informed by these units. Briefly, the top-down allocations start […]

Kelvin Thermal Storage is developing a technology to convert the inexpensive, off-peak/excess or renewable energy into a thermal energy. The technology uses graphite as the heat storage media and carbon composites as heating elements. In order to protect the carbon based components from oxidation by the heat-carrying media (an inert gas containing trace amounts of […]

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are essential for plant growth, yet their genetics are very poorly understood. The proposed research aims to identify the genetic identify and symbiotic potential of AMF strains currently cultivated by an industrial partner. The ultimate goal is to determine if a certain AMF genotype can be beneficial to boost the yield […]

Acrylamide is a food contaminant that is formed in a variety of food products upon heating. Baked cereal products are one of the most important sources of acrylamide in our daily diet. The formation of acrylamide needs to be tightly controlled, and, if possible, be avoided. This project is focusing on the effect of ingredient […]

In recent years, the concern with data reproducibility in preclinical research data has increased significantly. A survey performed by Nature showed more than 70% of published research is not reproducible and the issue is more concerning when it comes to biomedical research with only 10% of published work able to be reproduced. Scientists study the […]

Indoor farming offers the opportunity to grow produce close to the consumer and has recently been gaining attention due to its efficiency, controllability, and sustainability. In indoor farming, food is grown indoors in a controllable environment, with stable environmental conditions. This approach reduces the land footprint required, the demand for energy and water, the nutrient […]

The handling and storage of perishables like vaccines are critical to retain medical potency and effectiveness for patient administration. The delivery of vaccines can succumb to several pitfalls such as physical damage, losses in transit and expiration. One of the primary causes of vaccine wastage is a result of heat and freezing of the biological […]

A reduction in the levels of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) is expected to ameliorate cellular toxicity in both Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and prion diseases. The latter are invariably fatal diseases that include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as ‘Mad Cow Disease’, in cattle. To identify a rational method […]
