The aim of this research and development project is to design and develop new tools using 3D printing and injection molding technologies for reliable collection of biospecimen for the use with diagnostic kits and point-of-care devices capable of diagnosis of COVID-19. The developed sample collection tools will be eventually delivered to Shapetry Labs Inc. to […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has had broad global ramifications and preventative strategies and treatments for the virus are crucial. PBG BioPharma has developed two plant-based isolates, PBG-005 & PBG-007, that have shown innate immunological properties, potentially usable in the treatment or prevention of multi-viral infections. This research proposes leveraging PBG-005 & PGB-007, as well as PBG’s […]

Addem Labs is developing an office-friendly machine to manufacture single- and double- layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) on a user’s desktop. A core part of the machine is a miniature tool-changer mechanism that can pick up and use the tools required for various mechanical operations – the intern will be designing and developing this automated […]

In order to prevent vision loss for many diseases affecting the light-sensing tissue of the eye known as the retina, materials are injected into the eye to replace the jelly-like material known as the vitreous which is removed to treat the disease. Synakis is focused on developing a superior vitreous substitute which will avoid blurry […]

Leveraging the entirety of point of sale and loyalty data collected across a category, as well as additional socio-economic and other supporting data sources, apply statistical modelling to identify the own-price elasticity of demand and cross-price elasticity of demand at regular and promoted price points across Unilever’s portfolio within that category. Subsequently measuring the promotional […]

The current COVID-19 pandemic urgently calls for vaccines able to be rolled out on a global scale. This proposal aims to develop nanoparticle-based vaccine delivery vehicles that can enhance vaccination programs by improving vaccine storage and transport without need for refrigeration, as well as enhance the actual performance of the antigen, a protein found on […]

The objective is to design, develop, and test the power system in a next-generation rough-terrain utility vehicle developed by Dumur Industries, with particular focus on the battery used and its own power management system. The vehicle propulsion is via tank-type tracks that transmit power from the front to the back wheels via continuous chain-type tracks. […]

The main goal of this project is to develop a more advanced version of the Robotic Stairclimbing Assistant (ROSA), a stair-climbing domestic service robot developed by Quantum Robotic Systems. ROSA can carry heavier household items (e.g., laundry baskets, bins, etc.) between rooms and up stairs. ROSA is meant to help seniors, people with compromised mobility, […]

Current video codecs consider algorithms to analyze video imagery in order to find out which bits can be removed for file size reduction without subjective video frame degradation. Integrating AI with encoding process improves the quality of encoding and decoding. AI permits the software to proactively assess the quality of the encoded video before transmission. […]

Precision ADM is a global engineering and manufacturing solutions provider who uses Additive Manufacturing as a core technology, complemented by multi-axis machining to manufacture high value components and devices for the medical, aerospace, energy, and industrial sectors. Precision ADM specializes in PBF based additive manufacturing. For that reason, Precision ADM wants to design and develop […]

Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) will be essential in developing and monitoring Canada’s territories. This is in part due to a lack of suitable human pilots due to skill shortages and difficult conditions making recruitment difficult; there are also “dull, dirty and dangerous” aspects of the missions that make a remote pilot operation safer. Miniaturization, […]

In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the communication between motor neurons and skeletal muscle is lost, resulting in weakness and degeneration of muscle tissue. ALS animal models fail to reproduce the complexities of the disease, which is thought to account for the failure of new drugs in clinical trials. At The Neuro, human blood samples are […]
