Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers with a very poor survival upon detection. Pancreatic ducts are channels responsible for secreting pancreatic juices into the small intestines to aid in digestion. Pancreatic duct cancers account for up to 80% of the total pancreatic cancers, and current treatment are not efficacious to control the […]

Ecosystem restoration initiatives are considered among the most effective strategies in mitigating the effects of habitat destruction and biodiversity loss from human activities. The ecological restoration company Veritree is currently building an infrastructure of monitoring data streams for their projects to ensure that they are realizing their anticipated benefits. In this research project we will […]

Based on the evaluation of modelled soil vapour concentrations it is common for soil contaminants of concern (i.e., volatile contaminants) to pose a potential health risk to receptors via the soil-to-indoor air vapour migration pathway. However, it is understood that the approach used to model vapour concentrations in indoor air, though acceptable to the Ontario […]

This project is an R&D project intended to solve the problem relating to a piece of machinery, a retail kiosk for distribution of age-restricted beverages, that has overall reliability issues due to a compounding of sub-optimally performing devices and subsystems exacerbated by competing timeouts; and unpredictability of human users.

Creative Emporium provides digital Accounting System Maintenance, minimizing human intervention. The current software does not have an intelligent engine to automate cash flow analysis and budget analysis. This process takes hours for an accountant to do manually and the results are not that accurate due to human errors. The General objective of this proposal is […]

Within Canada’s commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a pivotal goal involves taking immediate action to combat climate change and its far-reaching effects. The specified target is a 40% to 45% reduction in the country’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions below 2005 levels by 2030. To transition away from fossil fuels and embrace […]

Coastal salt marshes, such as those in southern British Columbia (BC), offer valuable ecosystem services, including providing habitats for various plant, fish, and bird species, protecting shorelines from storm surges and erosion, and sequestering and storing carbon to mitigate climate change. However, this low-lying system is under threat due to rising sea levels and human […]

Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using onhand database management tools or traditional data processing applications. The challenges include capture, curation, storage, search, sharing, transfer, analysis, and visualization. In this internship, we analyze a real-world big data set(s) to make sensible inferences by […]

The research proposed will address the need for tools that can provide rapid and accurate identification of the pathogens that cause Dutch elm disease. This will address the first General Area of Research to develop forest pest management products as well as the fourth General Area of Research to develop forest pest management strategies. Development […]

As pharmaceutical companies look increasingly towards biological macromolecules like antibodies as new drugs, there is a rapidly growing need to be able to characterize these complex ‘drug candidates’ in detail. Rapid Novor, an international leader in antibody sequencing and characterization services, and the Wilson group, an academic leader in the development of HDX technologies, have […]
