Spinal cord pathology causes significant burden to the individual and society-at-large. Treatment is complex and made more difficult by difficulties in clinical imaging of the cord microstructure. Using recent advances in image acquisition techniques and image processing toolsets, this project will investigate a semi-automated pipeline to visualize boundaries of spinal cord pathology for the purpose […]

The intern will be working with the team on: • Analyzing current service offerings for profitable/loss leading activities (IE: what works, what doesn’t) • Market research for new products & […]

The company is developing a next generation, portable diagnostic drug testing platform. The product is designed to provide fast and accurate on-site drug detection. The goal is to develop a point-of-care (POC), real-time oral fluid drug screening platform for the detection of Drugs of Abuse initially focusing on cannabis and alcohol.

Factory-built structural insulated panels are used for off-site building construction to minimize the labour needed for construction framing, which aims to save construction time and improve the quality of the installation. The panels, instead of using wood or steel framing, are the structural support for walls. Although the insulated panels provide structure, additional reinforcements are […]

CRISPR/Cas9 is a promising tool for genome engineering in bacteria, but it’s limited by inconsistent accuracy. Though some studies have been conducted to understand why this inconsistency occurs, many important biological features have not been explored. Moreover, computer based attempts to predict accuracy have suffered from these knowledge gaps. This is due mainly to the […]

We would like to hire one MBA student for their business knowledge and skills to support market analysis, intellectual property research, competitive and regulatory landscape analysis, as well as funding opportunities for early stage drug and technology development within Research St Joseph’s Hamilton (RSJH). The MBA student will work on diverse projects and get familiar […]

Pultrall produces FRP bars for several applications in the construction industry. Although the advantage of using advanced materials in civil engineering is outstanding, the company needs more information regarding the performance of its product in fire. Material tests will be conducted on FRP bars at high temperature and full-scale fire tests on FRP reinforced concrete […]

[Reseach Abstract. Project Overview missing] simulation package available) to simulate a zooming system composed of tunable liquid crystal lenses that is capable of aberration correction. The first component of the project consists of simulating a liquid crystal lens in COMSOL. The liquid crystals rearrange themselves based on a space varying electric field created by the […]

The most recent breakthroughs in cancer treatment are based on understanding that our immune system can be activated to attack tumours. While first achieved using antibody drugs called “checkpoint inhibitors”, this new paradigm of activating a cancer patient’s own immune system is also possible using viruses, an emerging field known as oncolytic virus (OV) therapy. […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has created supply chain issues for medical masks worldwide. There is clearly a need for mask manufacturing and material sourcing capabilities in Canada. This proposal is a partnership with Feedband Labs to develop an enhanced ASTM 2-3 equivalent, antiviral medical mask that can be strategically sourced and produced in Canada. The 4-layer […]

The objectives of the research is to identify and quantify barriers to energy efficiency in Ontario Hospitals, to identify methods to confront these barriers, including through the use of revolving funds, and to provide a case study by designing, implementing and measuring the results of a revolving fund to be set up for the Hart […]

Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies provide networks a method to ensure trust in the network while not relying on a central authority, or even any individual node in the network. Moreover, these technologies enable secure transaction and recording keeping within the network by using distributed consensus to verify the actions of users and cryptographically linking […]
