Launched in Summer 2023, Medventions Atlantic is a partnership between the Nova Scotia Health Innovation Hub and Sunnybrook Research Institute with the goal to drive health innovation and nurture Canadian talent in the healthcare technology sector. The cornerstone of the program is a four month physician-led, hospital-based fellowship training that equips aspiring innovators and entrepreneurs […]

Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation and LDL deposition in the lumen of the arteries. This process can result in stenosis or thrombosis. More than 33% of Canadian deaths in 2011 were due to cardiovascular events (major chronic diseases surveillance online). Canadians lose an average of 4.5 years of life expectancy due to […]

The project objective is to hire a business intern who will enhance Mxpert’s digital footprint and customer engagement by contributing to digital marketing efforts, industry and audience analysis, customer onboarding, and internal training. The intern will also utilize analytics tools to provide actionable insights for website and brand optimization.

The proposed project is for the intern to develop an algorithm to decide on the suitability of a group of chemical compounds to transfer from one detection instrument (low throughput) to another detection instrument (high throughput). For ease of use and cost considerations it is preferable for these chemical compounds to measured using a high […]

Perks Pilot Inc. is a new and innovative solution to help match financial services and tools to those that can most benefit. This Mitacs project will aim to develop educational strategies to help young adults understand financial services. Two interns will be brought on to understand the market, build a target profile and then design […]

Production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) contributes to 8% global CO2 emission. There is now increased effort to find alternative materials that are sustainable, readily available, and cheap. Several supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) from natural resources and waste product have been used to partially replace OPC and have shown beneficial effect. New efforts by Carbon […]

Lake Sturgeon, known as Namew (nam-ay-o) in Moose Cree, are an important part of the Moose Cree First Nation’s culture and are a subsistence food source for the community. Namew are considered a species of special concern within the Moose River watershed, but are classified as an endangered species globally. As a long-lived species that […]

La soudure par friction-malaxage à double épaulement (FSW) est une technique solide en plein essor avec des avantages tels que l’absence de fusion du matériau et des propriétés mécaniques améliorées des joints. Cependant, la norme actuelle ne fournit pas de données sur les propriétés mécaniques du FSW, ce qui limite son utilisation. Un projet propose […]

For a hundred years, fetal bovine serum (FBS) is used for cell culture. Cell culture is a critical tool for understanding life, through research, as well as manufacturing biologics, such as vaccine and lab grown meat. It is also used to reproduce tissue which can be used in human graft. FBS is the fertilizer for […]

This project seeks to enhance the impact of leadership training and development by evaluating the effectiveness of a digital program tailored for early-career leaders. Despite the vital role of leadership training, its success often remains uncertain. This research program, spanning two years, aims to bridge this gap by conducting three studies. Study 1 will validate […]

Le projet proposé consiste à développer un système d’intelligence artificielle (IA) capable de transcrire et comprendre les commandes vocales utilisées dans l’annotation des compétitions sportives. L’objectif est de réduire la dépendance à l’égard des opérateurs humains pour la reconnaissance des séquences de jeu, en utilisant uniquement la reconnaissance audio.

Zirconium alloys are widely used in nuclear reactors due to their low absorption cross section against thermal neutrons and good mechanical properties. Inside the core of reactors, the hot water coolant reacts with zirconium and releases hydrogen into the zirconium lattice. With time, hydrogen concentration increases leading to the formation of a brittle phase known […]
