Glioblastoma is the most common type of adult brain cancer. Glioblastoma tumors are very aggressive because these cells can rapidly invade deep into healthy tissue, which makes them particularly difficult to attack with current treatment options including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Therefore, better pharmaceutical strategies to neutralize glioblastoma cells without damaging surrounding healthy cells is […]

Mantech of Guelph and Nano and Micro Systems Lab at University of Waterloo have forged a valuable partnership to develop versatile water sensors to monitor drinking water quality and detect contamination level in waste waters of local and national sewerage networks. This project has trained many highly qualified personnel for Canadian health and high tech […]

Plant-based meat alternatives are made using plant sources and which mimic meat in their appearance and texture. Vegan and vegetarian consumers prefer these products to meat, but many more Canadians stand to benefit from them as they transition towards diets relying more heavily on plant-based foods for ethical, environmentally sustainability, and health reasons. Consequently, the […]

Circle Neurovascular Imaging (CNVI) aims to improve the standard of care for stroke patients by providing physicians critical information assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) through their innovative software platform, StrokeSENS, which is designed to aid the clinician in making quicker, more accurate decisions about patient management. StrokeSENS, has partial clinical approval in the EU and […]

The interns will support the development and testing of an archaeological field notes tool called STRATUM. This tool will allow all notes and documentation, usually collected in note books or various handheld devices, to be collected on one digital device like a tablet or phone. The tool development will be guided by the results of […]

IMPORTANT: The company changed its name from REEcycle Inc. to Cyclic Materials on Friday February 11th, 2022. There have been no other changes to the project as it pertains to the intern for the next 8 months. The attached file is an application for the funding of 2 x 4 month internships opportunities at the […]

Cubresa is building the BrainPET, the world’s first commercial brain-dedicated positron emission tomography (PET) insert for a magnetic resonance imager (MRI). The BrainPET will give doctors and scientists a powerful tool to visualize the human brain with near-unparalleled resolution and sensitivity, providing a clear picture of the interconnectedness of structure/function in this complex organ. This […]

Les stagiaires collégiaux, universitaires et diplômés vont se succéder dans les étapes de développement, et chaque stagiaire aura des objectifs spécifiques selon son expertise, la ligne […]

Geosynthetics are rolls of man-made products that are used in roads and earthworks. These are often used to improve drainage and work very well in many instances. In some cases such as silt soils or silt-sized mine tailings, geosynthetic drainage doesn’t work well because of the naturally hydrophobic nature of the synthetic fibres. This project […]

This project has two main themes: The first involves measuring the benefit BiCROS hearing aid users gain from their hearing aids in challenging listening environments. Then, a statistically based qualitative process will be followed to investigate user attitudes towards their hearing aids and what contributes to their successful use. This information will be used to […]

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising candidates for storing significant amounts of electricity, since zinc (Zn) is widely available and inexpensive. ZIBs typically use a high-capacity Zn metal anode, metal oxide positive electrode, and aqueous electrolyte, with energy/power densities similar to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). ZIBs offer advantages over LIBs, including improved safety, eco-friendliness and simpler manufacturing […]

The aim of the proposed research cluster is to advance the state of the art of secure operation of power systems by developing new methods and tools. A power system is expected to perform within specified operating boundaries of system voltage and frequency under normal conditions when there are no component outages. Further, it should […]
