This project aims to study how species form in the Amazon using the Silvered Antbird as a model. This species has diverged into two morphologically divergent forms. Where these forms come into geographic contact, populations appear morphologically and genetically intermediate suggesting they form a hybrid zone. To investigate the extent of genetic mixing between these […]

As sustainability is increasingly being questioned from an environmental, social and economic standpoint for food systems, and food insecurity rates are persisting globally, there is a need to improve citizen knowledge about food and food systems to transform them. A primary angle to improve knowledge is through education. Farm to Cafeteria Canada is a key […]

Despite the drive to create a more diverse and inclusive science and engineering community in Canada – there is, remarkably, no central platform or easily accessible database that highlights natural sciences, engineering and allied health sciences scientists from different disciplines. In contrast, several other speakers bureau-type platforms enable searching for attributes and expertise. Imogen Coe […]

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems are emerging technologies with the ability to capture, store and redistribute heat. TES technologies are described as a critical component of low-carbon energy systems as they overcome temporal and geographic barriers for the use of excess energy within an energy grid. Hamilton Community Enterprises (HCE) is currently investigating the parameters […]

Anthrax is a disease of importance for the human and veterinary fields. It has the potential to be used as a bioweapon; however, this threat is relatively rare compared to the risk it poses for ruminants world-wide. Even though a vaccine is available for cattle it is under-utilized. This project will review the data and […]

This project will provide an estimate of the direct and indirect costs of ADHD in Canada. The peer-reviewed report will be used by the partner organization to appeal to the different levels of government to publicly fund ADHD treatment in Canada. An existing model, developed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals, will be adjusted to the Canadian context. […]

The unique ability of surgical procedures with infrared lasers to prevent scarring can be applied to all kinds of tissues, not just the skin or outer layers, but also organs, other soft tissues, and bone reshaping for perfectly matching implants without tissue damage. However, the cutting speed due to the relatively low laser power is […]

The projects aims to develop a method to block the Wnt16B protein known to cause cancer growth and development by using target specific Camelid IgG antibodies in cancer cell culture that overexpresses Wnt16B. The Camelid antibodies programed to block the Wnt16B protein will be assessed for efficiency on how well they are able to block […]

The Cancer Assistance Program (CAP) role since inception has been to provide free practical services to those impacted by cancer. Services provide person-centred care, improving cancer patients’ quality of life, helping to alleviate the emotional, physical and financial implications of a cancer diagnosis. The scope of service is specific, practical, tangible, and focused on removing […]

We want to create an artificial intelligent assistant for businesses. It uses state-of-art Natural Language Processing models to understand what people say and seamlessly converting it into computer executable orders. For example, if someone asks, “How much did we spend on training?” it can turn that it into a meticulously structured SQL query such as […]
