Le système agricole industriel est insoutenable, tant sur le plan social qu’écologique. Pour étudier des modèles agricoles alternatifs, nous étudierons les apports et les limites de l’agroécologie via le projet pilote de ferme soutenue par la communauté des Bontés de la Vallée, situé au Québec. Cette ferme innovante est portée par des producteurs maraîchers engagés […]

EPA and DHA are two important omega-3 fats that people mostly get from their diet or dietary supplements. The Omega-3 Index (O3I) reflects the amount of EPA and DHA found in red blood cells. A high O3I is linked with good health, while a low O3I is linked with higher risk of heart disease. Importantly, […]

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

PCS is collaborating with The Forks to tackle the challenge of designing an inclusive safety strategy that brings together diverse stakeholder perspectives, fosters community involvement, and broadens the concept of safety to encompass cultural and social aspects. This initiative will directly impact the current security team, reshaping its role and focus to meet evolving community […]

Our project aims to develop polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (pLNPs) to enhance gene delivery to cells throughout the body, addressing two major challenges: ineffective release of genetic material inside cells and limited targeting of non-liver tissues. By incorporating a pH-sensitive material, our pLNPs are designed to improve the release of their genetic cargo within cells while […]

Wastewater treatment plants contribute to greenhouse gas emissions through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are produced during various treatment processes. During biological nutrient removal in wastewater treatment, processes such as activated sludge can generate N2O (a potent greenhouse gas) during total nitrogen removal processes. Further energy consumption […]

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 […]

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 […]
