This project is creating a smart chat assistant that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help construction and engineering companies write accurate proposals, like bids for major jobs. The assistant is trained on the company’s successful past proposals, making it a secure, private expert. When a team uploads a new Request for Proposal (RFP), the assistant […]

This project aims to commercialize a computational biotechnology platform that simulates the structure and dynamics of cellular organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, at multiple scales. These systems play key roles in many cellular processes, and their malfunction is linked to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, ALS, and cancer. While experimental methods provide valuable insights, they […]

Venipuncture is a widely performed yet error-prone medical procedure, posing risks to both patients and healthcare workers due to reliance on visual inspection and palpation for vein access. High rates of needlestick injuries, repeated insertion attempts, and challenges with difficult patient populations highlight the need for safer, more reliable solutions, especially amid workforce shortages and […]

The goal of this project is to validate and improve the scientific, clinical, and user-centered value of Flow’s AI-powered features in preparation for commercialization. The focus will be on developing a structured evaluation framework, conducting hands-on testing, and iterating based on clinician feedback. This complements the customer discovery and business model testing activities of the […]

Le secteur agricole québécois désire mettre en place une filière énergétique à la biomasse agricole. Toutefois, la combustion de biomasses agricoles en remplacement des combustibles fossiles rencontre certains freins à son développement. Comme la biomasse contient des quantités appréciables d’azote, de soufre, de chlore, de potassium et de silicium, sa combustion émet plus de particules […]

This project aims to develop an innovative biosensor that can continuously and non-invasively monitor clot formation in whole blood or plasma in real time. By combining microwave-based sensing technology with artificial intelligence, the system provides accurate, real-time information on coagulation dynamics without the need for complex laboratory instruments. The technology will help healthcare and biomedical […]

To improve how diseases are treated, our team has developed a single, versatile platform that supports rapid drug discovery, therapeutic safety testing, and evaluation of cell-based therapies. In the longer term, the same technology will enable the bioengineering of transplantable human organs. Our initial work targets the kidney, pancreas, and lung—organs central to major chronic […]

The Clear Seas Indigenous Internship Program aims to provide support to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities across Canada by helping them build the necessary internal capacity to research and protect their territories through a re-imagined internship program. Clear Seas provides mentorship to the interns and uplifts existing internal capacity within Indigenous communities. The Clear […]

Direct lineage reprogramming (DLR) is the newest advance in the field of cellular reprogramming. It is the forced conversion of one mature cell type to another, without the need for a pluripotent intermediate, directly at the site of injury or disease. We have developed DLR technology to convert astrocytes into new oligodendrocyte lineage cells (iOLCs) […]

SunVault Energy Incorporated, a Kelowna, British Columbia based energy technology company, aims to become a significant player within the emerging Canadian solar industry. They have devised a technology, the solar battery, which integrates the energy storage and energy generation capabilities of a stand-alone solar energy system. They view this as potentially a means of lowering […]

The goal of the project is to develop a series of standardized, performance-based computerized assessment tools for use in the examination of social cognition deficits in ASD. Drawing on the available experimental literature a number of potential assessment tasks will be identified, reviewed and configured for computer-based administration to children / youth with ASD. Programming […]

Using geographic information systems (GIS) software and existing radiometric thermal orthomosaics, automate the process of identifiying and locating areas of cold water refugia in salmon-bearing streams and rivers in BC.
