The use of cinnamon as a flavoring agent and a remedy for metabolic, respiratory, and gynecological disorders is widespread throughout the world. Studies suggest that Ceylon cinnamon may be useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This project will use a high-throughput method to analyze how a concentrated water extract of Ceylon cinnamon changes […]

Oncozyme is looking to improve its lead oncology product candidate OCZ103 by incorporating it in nanometer-scale lipid particles known as liposomes. Liposomes have already demonstrated their usefulness in transporting anti-cancer drugs and improving the efficacy and safety aspects of drugs. Liposomal formulation development requires a highly skilled individual both technically and theoretically. The intern who […]

Lubricant is the substance used to decrease the friction generated between the two surfaces undergo relative motion. There are many applications for naturally occurring lubricants in medical field to improve a patient’s quality of life. Fucoidan is one of the naturally occurring lubricants that has the potential of reducing adhesion after an abdominal surgery. ARC […]

The proposed research project will consist of the intern providing various business development strategies to the company Proxima Lighting Solutions. The internship company will benefit by receiving a full business plan and marketing plan. The intern will be looking into different B2B and B2G opportunities and deliver a report on potential market penetration strategy options […]

Road departure is a critical factor in vehicle accidents, which could happen as a result of a driver’s impairment or lack of attention, or the road surface condition due to inclement weather. Therefore, it has been a high priority for the automotive industry to improve advanced systems for stability and path control. GM novel approach […]

Patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) require hemodialysis (HD) to clear their blood from metabolic waste products. While generally considered mildly invasive, research shows that HD can induce severe side effects, often affecting microvascular blood flow in tissue. We successfully developed a small animal model that allows us to successfully dialyze laboratory rats (approx. 250 […]

Aging adults want to age in place in their homes to remain in their community of friends, family and activities. This independence for many depends on the support of family care givers such as spouses or adult children that may live separately or work outside the home. The use of ambient sensors in the home […]

L’un des défis les plus importants dans l’amélioration des pratiques agricoles est de comprendre l’impact des changements de pratiques sur l’amélioration du rendement et sur l’environnement. L’objectif de ce projet est de […]

Ardra Inc. has sustainably produced many high-purity chemicals that are used for various flavor, perfume, and cosmetic applications. Combining industrial/business expertise provided by Ardra with academic/research skills provided by Dr. C. Perry Chou’s lab, we are aiming to effectively produce high-value heme compound using engineered E. coli host organism. Major efforts will be dedicated toward […]

The project aims at developing a new type of Reinforcement Learning algorithm that would allow to retain more control over the artificial agent once its training is completed. This framework would combine modern unsupervised modeling techniques to capture the variability of a set of demonstrations and user-defined programmatic functions that can characterise particularly important factors […]

To reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from goods transportation low-carbon fuels can be combined with high-efficiency engine systems. Gaseous fuels such renewable natural gas and hydrogen offer low net GHG emissions from efficient direct-injection engines. These engines use high fuel injection pressures that need to be supplied during operation by a compressor on the […]

L’organisme partenaire, Blue Solutions Canada, est notamment spécialisé dans la fabrication des batteries LMP® (Lithium Métal Polymère) utilisées dans des applications mobiles (véhicules tout électriques) et stationnaires. Les batteries LMP® contiennent un électrolyte solide polymérique (EP), dont la température optimale de fonctionnement est supérieure à la température ambiante. L’objectif du projet vise à développer et […]
