In this project, we will be investigating a potential therapeutic target for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is a type of blood cancer and the five year survival rate is less than 30%. We will be studying a receptor called OR2AT4, which has been found in the white blood cells of AML patients. This receptor […]

Native Child and Family Services of Toronto (NCFST) must reflect the holistic Indigenous worldview so that we better reflect what we are supposed to be: a thriving and growing Indigenous multi-service urban agency. We need to align the decision-making principles and processes with historical and traditional forms of governance from the region in which we […]

Adwow Marketing Inc. (a AI-powered marketing start-up) is seeking expertise of an intern who has background in Digital Marketing and Analytics. The collaboration with MITACS will provide Adwow with access to valuable resources and expertise that can help Adwow strengthen its unique selling proposition and develop an effective go-to-market strategy.

The electrochemical decarbonation (ED) of limestone is a novel disruptive technology with the potential to promote deep decarbonization of the cement industry, which emits about 8% of carbon dioxide global emissions. ED uses water electrolysis cells to precipitate Ca(OH)2, which has been used as an alternative raw material for Alite synthesis, the main clinker compound. […]

The project aims to analyze the existing psychoeducational materials that exist for individuals who have experienced psychosis and their families. A focus group will be developed to explore what skills or knowledge might support family members of individuals who are experiencing or have experienced psychosis. Using this focus group, we will develop educational materials with […]

At Western university, I have done lots of research for different sizes of gold nanoparticles/nanoclusters using different instruments (TOF-SIMS etc.) for characterizations of these gold nanomaterials. Dr. Per Malmberg group at Chalmers University of Technology, is an expert of TOF-SIMS (surface characterization method) and in addition NanoSIMS. Dr. Malmberg’s NanoSIMS (a better surface characterization method […]

Thermal fatigue is a problem that can happen when making metal products using a certain tool. The tool gets extremely hot when the metal is poured in, and then it cools down quickly when the metal hardens. This can happen over and over again, and it can make the tool break or not work as […]

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a complicated electrotherapeutic medical procedure which provides irreplaceable therapies and treatments for several nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. Advancements in the electrodes designs will improve the delivered therapy and enhance the efficacy of the DBS system. The objective of this project is to begin preliminary designs for deep […]

Canada, Mexico, and United States are members of a free trade agreement (USMCA), which seek to build stronger local supply chains and stimulate financing in strategic industries, such as lithium batteries, semiconductor chips, and green energy sources. Because, due to the pandemic situation and the reduction of chips production, companies, and government from USMCA are […]

A modular quantum computer is a system that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to store and process information. Although quantum computers have the potential to offer significantly greater computational power than classical computers, their development is complicated by a lack of scalabil-ity. To address this issue, small quantum processors or modules are employed, which […]

To restore a damaged ecosystem, one of the first steps is to remove alien invasive plants. These plants come from elsewhere in the world and can deeply alter the native plant community in their new environments. These changes can in turn affect insect pollinators, like bees, who depend on plants for food. In naturalized or […]

The proposed project aims to study the use of cooling therapy for infants in Canada, with a focus on analyzing existing protocols and the cooling therapy market. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the Canadian healthcare system and how cooling therapy as a more efficient alternative and across a larger geographical to […]
