This project aims to develop a method for delivering reprogramming transcription factor genes to astrocytes in the central nervous system using Intelligent Phagemid-Assembled Gene Expression (iPhAGE) technology. By constructing specific gene blocks and fusion helper plasmids, synthesizing iPhAGE DNA, and purifying iPhAGE preparations, the project seeks to enhance transfection efficiency and assess immune responses and […]

Cyanobacterial and microalgal host cells produce a range of bioactive compounds that makes them good candidates for drug discovery. At the same time, they themselves get infected by a range of different viruses. This means that understanding the interplay of these hosts with the viruses that infect them is crucial in order to optimize bioactive […]

Our solution, AthleteAid is an mobile-app based service which compiles tried and tested medical decision rules and advice into a condensed, easy to follow step by step protocols. These protocols will alleviate stress and provide guidance for parents and coaches making decisions as well as reduce the amount of costly and unneccearry hospital trips. Using […]

Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide with more than 1.3 million deaths reported in 2023. With the increase in multidrug resistant cases of TB, it is important for us to develop newer and faster acting drugs to treat TB. In addition, one-quarter of the world’s population carries a latent […]

Single-cell -Omics analysis methods are having a transformational impact on research in the life sciences. Specifically, the capacity to assess genomes, transcriptomes, or proteomes of individual cells in place of (or in addition to) measuring the average signals from populations of cells allows researchers to ask and answer questions that have never been accessible until […]

This project proposes a comprehensive analysis of the impact of environmental stress on Antarctic fish, utilizing an integrated approach that combines biophysical and genomic analyses to study adaptation mechanisms. By integrating disciplines, including physics and biology, this research aims to enhance our understanding of evolutionary processes and adaptation strategies of organisms in extreme environments, such […]

The project is focused on study of commercial microbial cultures for biological remediation of soils and ground waters contaminated by chlorinated organic. The successful elaboration and improvement of the products requires analysis on molecular-genetic level and developing of specific techniques (16S pyrotag pipeline) for microbial communities profiling and metabolic reconstruction. The work benefits to industry […]

The clinical translation of innovative oncology treatments can be boosted by the establishment of alternative in vivo models based on the chick chorioallantoic membrane. In this project, a biomodel based on commercial cancer cell lines, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, will be established and characterized by standard biological assays. The biomodels will be employed for the […]

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 […]
