The social contract for science and innovation is under strain. With the decline of trust, there are worrying signs of a public unsure about the value and authority of science in their everyday lives, and a growing disconnect between what the public increasingly sees as unapproachable, elitist institutions and what scientists see as a lack […]

Everly is on a mission to transform our everyday self-care essentials so that they not only care for us but for the planet too. Roughly 50 million tons of waste is produced a year and most of it is shipped to / dumped in poor countries in Asia and Africa. Beauty and self-care product packaging […]

Savyn offers digital therapies based on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and written exposure therapy, which are digitized and adapted versions of existing therapy protocols provided in person to heal trauma and PTSD. Savyn offers access to patients and clients who have PTSD but cannot get the help they need due to a shortage […]

VeriGrain™ Sampling Inc. (VeriGrain) is an AgTech firm who has created a farm inventory data management system. They solve a substantial problem in the food chain which results in grains being undervalued, under- utilized, and untraceable. VeriGrain requires the ability to connect to third party agricultural software so that their customers do not need to […]

An extension of an earlier Mitacs project, this project will complete some uncompleted objectives in the last internship and complete some new objectives including a strategic communications plan for the Historic Brick Flour Mill in Yorkton.

Cardiac specialists spend anywhere from 60-70% of their patient consult working with electronic medical record (EMR) software attempting to extract salient patient data that leads to providing the most accurate diagnosis and care path. Cadea Health Inc. is seeking to reduce the workload cardiologist face by taking advantage of AI to intelligently gather and present […]

The most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF), affecting 2-3% of the general population. If left untreated, arrhythmias can lead to heart failure, stroke, or sudden death. A better understanding of AF mechanisms is needed to improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis and create new therapeutic tools. We have developed a zebrafish model […]

Bats are ecologically important mammals, but recent studies have also identified them as reservoirs of emerging viruses. These viruses include SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). Intriguingly, bats that are naturally or experimentally infected with these viruses do not develop severe disease. Thus, bats provide us with […]

Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the second leading cause of mortality among infectious diseases. Mtb extensively remodels its cell-survival dynamics inside the host including the process of its division. Hence it is imperative to understand mycobacterial cell division. It is known that Mtb DivIVA protein called Wag31 is essential for cell elongation and […]

The project will consist of assisting Prof. Mike McLaughlin graduate student research on deep banding in Australia. Specifically, the project will aim to explore the fundamental processes controlling P fertilizer efficiency in a wide range of soils, using a combination of spectroscopic, and speciation techniques. This will help develop a different perspective on phosphorus (P) […]

The floral composition, including algae, of the Qazvin basin, is poorly known. This basin is located on a mountain range that is a very important place in the world for its biodiversity and endemism, generated by the geological and topographic complexity. In this project we will identify the diatoms (silica algae) that inhabit the Shahroud […]

The proposed research project assesses how collaborative robotics can be used in the construction industry. Humans may now engage and collaborate with robotics (Cobots), which are gradually being employed in the construction sector; therefore it is important to thoroughly understand the functions of Cobots and how they will assist in the near future. The purpose […]
