Food & agtech innovation are important contributors to Canada’s innovation ecosystem and the productivity of Canada’s agriculture and food sectors. This project will support the development of novel business processes at an emerging Canadian venture capital firm, as well as research into early stage science and technology companies within the sector through market analysis and […]

When cancer grows, tumors create a microenvironment around them, the TME or tumor microenvironment. This acts as a force field around cancer cells that blunts the immune system and allows cancer to escape its surveillance. At Modulari-T we have developed a way to program the immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells which we […]

Microbial diseases pose significant threats to agriculture, jeopardizing food security by reducing yields and damaging crops. Understanding how plants sense and respond to pathogens while maintaining growth is crucial. Signal transduction is governed by protein kinases that phosphorylate targets to regulate their activity, localization, and stability. Our research aims to unravel plant immune signaling, to […]

In this study, we are going to synthesize gold nanoparticles by biological method using Z. officinale and evaluate their antimicrobial activity against antimicrobial resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moreover, we are going to study the synergistic effects of the gold nanoparticles with ceftazidium antibiotic and others with different concentrations against antimicrobial resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates.This area of […]

In this project, researchers from the NeuroFUS lab at the University of Calgary led by Dr. Pichardo and Dr. N’Djin’s group from LabTAU at INSERM and the University of Lyon collaborate to improve focused ultrasound (FUS) technology by characterizing a new ring-shaped transducer. FUS is a flexible technique that targets deep tissue with sound waves […]

How complex organs develop from a small set of undifferentiated cells is a fundamental question in biology. Genetic mutations that alter organs shape give us important insight to answer this question. This project aims to use CRISPR/CAS9 technology to introduce different types of genetic constructions into the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to understand the development […]

Human health is impacted every day by metal contact, ranging from direct contact with metal surfaces to exposure to corrosion by-products, nanoparticles, or ions. The interaction of human proteins with these materials remains poorly understood, but metal-protein contact has been implicated as the cause of many adverse physiological reactions, such as allergies, contact dermatitis, and […]

From year to year, an increasing number of people face a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders and general health problems, often caused by an imbalance in the gastrointestinal microbiota. That is why developing products to normalize the state of the microflora is a priority in creating preventive health products. It has been established that products […]

mRNA vaccine technologies came to the forefront of public health during the recent global pandemic and this technology also has great potential for other therapeutic approaches. These vaccine platforms require that the mRNA be encapsulated by fat molecules into structures called “lipid nanoparticles”, and the specific chemical formulations of the mRNA and fats determine the […]

Gene therapy has the potential to cure a wide range of debilitating genetic diseases. One of the best ways to correct a genetic defect is to use a viral vector to deliver a functional copy of the gene to cells in the body so that they can express a functional protein and reverse the disease […]

This project will focus on transforming scientific research excellence into improved healthspan via the development of improved diagnostics to allow personalized therapeutic strategies, with novel treatment and rejuvenation approaches targeting cardiometabolic disease. Exciting preliminary data has been generated by the York University research team. The Konkuk University research team have the established expertise to capitalize […]
