There is a critical need to develop new therapeutics for the treatment of chronic pain. In this partnership between Zymedyne Therapeutics and the Derksen Research lab at the University of Calgary, we will work to develop lead hit compounds to leads that can be put forward as clinical candidates. As many existing pain therapeutics, such […]

The Disaster Management and Community Support Platform is designed to enhance disaster preparedness and response in Canadian communities by providing real-time risk assessments and fostering a robust community support network. The platform integrates features such as real-time communication, volunteer matching, resource management, and mental health support to help local governments, NGOs, and residents respond more […]

20/20 OptimEyes Technologies has developed a nanoparticle technology that can improve treatments for patients. We are moving forward into clinical trials for glaucoma, but we know we can improve other disease treatments with our technology. During this internship, our intern will evaluate other potential therapies where we could use our platform technology and build a […]

Quantum processing units are expected to accelerate some tasks within a high-performance computing (HPC) environment along with CPUs, GPUs and other specialized accelerators. Currently, quantum computers are used by a single user at a time, and this user has access to all the qubits of the machine. Sharing the machine between applications that only use […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Despite the proliferation of mini forests across Canada, and the financial commitment to increase canopy cover in urban areas, there is very little systematic research conducted on the range of benefits and the effectiveness of mini forests. For the MITACS Accelerate we envision involving an undergraduate student as a project intern to support the development […]

Le projet de recherche consiste à explorer et à développer de nouvelles méthodes pour accompagner les startups spécialisées dans les technologies matérielles, appelées “hardtech”, telles que l’Internet des objets (IoT) ou les technologies énergétiques. Contrairement aux startups axées sur le développement de logiciels, les entreprises hardtech font face à des défis uniques, notamment en matière […]

Street2School is a youth-led initiative that addresses the growing issue of educational inequity in Nigeria, particularly among out-of-school children in underserved communities like Zamani. With over 10.5 million children currently out of school in Nigeria, according to UNICEF, our mission is to provide these children with access to quality education, breaking the cycle of poverty […]

This project is focused on the design and optimization of a helmet, the Regulated Multi-stage Air-pressurized Chambers Helmet (R-MACH), that incorporates a unique idea aimed at effectively mitigating rotational forces without compromising on weight or performance at high impact velocities. Our novel design leverages interconnected air-pressurized chambers and elastic materials, instead of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) […]

This work focuses on solar-driven hydrogen production and the valorization of glycerol into value-added chemicals using advanced photocatalysis techniques. By combining renewable energy with glycerol waste management, this research addresses two critical challenges: reducing greenhouse gas emissions through clean hydrogen production and creating a sustainable, circular economy by converting biodiesel byproducts into useful chemicals. There […]

ELISAs are one of the most utilized immunoassays for rapid disease diagnostics, disease surveillance, biomarker quantification, food inspection, and food analysis. Since the invention of ELISAs over 50 years ago, they have been restricted to single-use disposable test kits. Invention of reusable ELISAs is a potentially market-disrupting advancement that requires market validation. The Lab2Market Validate […]

Brain aneurysms are blisters on brain arteries caused by high blood pressure and smoking. Every 18 minutes, a brain aneurysm ruptures, leading to 1,370 deaths a day worldwide. This project seeks to develop an innovative brain implantable device to treat brain aneurysms through prototyping, lab validation, and customer discovery and feedback. The partner organization supports […]
