The focus will be on conducting comprehensive market research to understand the demand for this innovative therapy, explore its commercial viability, and identify potential partners in the biopharmaceutical industry. The project will assess […]

Digital Pathology provides a great reliable source for cancer diagnosis; however, this relatively new technique lacks an appropriate method of regulation and standardization. As a result the information obtained from cancer imaging system might suffer from inconsistency of the results (repeatability and reproducibility issues). Working with the BC Cancer Research Center, Logipath Medical Inc. has […]

The research focuses on development and implementation of advanced software algorithms designed for the automated analysis of skin lesion images. The algorithms will be designed to run on mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets, and could be used by the general users as well as doctors for computer-assisted screening and diagnosis of skin […]

We propose the development and commercialization of biodegradable wastepaper foam as a viable alternative to traditional synthetic materials. Our solution aims to address the environmental challenges posed by non-biodegradable packaging materials while providing effective cushioning protection for a wide range of products, spanning from lightweight to heavyweight products.

Ce projet vise à optimiser de nouveaux marqueurs fluorescents non toxiques pour le marquage et l’imagerie de cellules vivantes par microscopie de fluorescence. Cette optimisation se fera sur la base des propriétés spectrales des molécules fluorescentes, mais aussi leurs propriétés biologiques. L’organisation partenaire, Saguaro Biosciences, commercialise ChromaLive et est pionnière dans le développement de marqueurs […]

In this study, researchers aim to investigate whether canagliflozin, an anti-diabetic agent, can enhance the effectiveness of enzalutamide in preclinical models of prostate cancer (PrCa). Prostate cancer often becomes resistant to current therapies, such as enzalutamide, due to various molecular pathways. Canagliflozin has shown promise in suppressing these pathways in prostate cancer cells and tumors, […]

The specific objective of this project is to compare the accuracy of the Manus Quantum motion capture gloves against traditional hand-held controllers for conducting proactive ergonomics analyses in virtual reality (VR). Digital human model (DHM) hand locations and joint angles will be compared to their ground truth measures derived from laboratory-grade optical motion capture. To […]

Cette recherche examine comment le design urbain peut être appliqué pour créer des milieux de vie adaptés aux aînés dans des zones à faible densité, en particulier les milieux ruraux au Québec. Ces territoires posent des défis spécifiques liés à l’accès limité aux services essentiels, aux difficultés de mobilité, et au manque de cohésion sociale. […]

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

Innovation in domains such as organic electronic materials is driven by experimental methods that are generally limited by the speed of human intervention in all the steps of the iterative R&D cycle. The emergence of AI tools and automated systems can now help to disrupt this paradigm by empowering the researcher to efficiently leverage their […]
