The project involves development, validation, and application of new medical image analysis algorithm where cortical thickness is measured from serial brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with improved efficiency and greater sensitivity. Cortical thickness is a relatively new metric that correlates with clinical and cognitive worsening in a variety of neurologic disorders such as multiple sclerosis […]

The proposed project consists of creating a universal charging solution for different EV brands. Through this project, we test and evaluate several designs of our transmitter and receiver coil to achieve a wireless charging solution that provides flexibility for different types and brands of batteries and EVs. As a result of this project we identify […]

Currently, the building sector accounds of 36% of end-use energy consumption in Ontario. With the rise of appeal towards green energy, the government has focused greatly on developing sustainability policies. Additionally, Ontario has seen a rise in the equity-seeking communities’ population over the last few decades. Aknowlegding the success of sustainability policies is greatly depends […]

The proposed research seeks to investigate four ways to support sound decision making and sustainable development by: 1. developing an integrated approach to planning using a combination of scenario creation and structured decision making (SDM); 2. testing methodological improvements to SDM by increasing our understanding of how to measure values and preferences; 3. examining how […]

22CAN Inc is an AI-enabled Canadian recruiting start-up where we leverage our DigitalTwin recommender platform that match similar (“twin” concept) knowledge professionals to opportunities. Our project focus is: NLP Algorithm Experimentation. This is where we will advance the 22CAN NLP platform through advanced algorithm experimentation.

The major aim of this research project is to accelerate the development of the SORT1+ oncology platform. This novel platform is based on a new proprietary peptide targeting Sortilin, a key scavenging receptor. Sortilin has been reported to play a role in cell survival and in the progression of human cancers. For instance, Sortilin expression […]

Sea ice is an integral part of the climate system. To obtain hemispheric-scale information about sea ice and the snow cover on top, satellite radar remote sensing is the method of choice. Microwave frequencies are ideally suited to observe sea ice/snow because they are independent of clouds and penetrate the snow and sea ice. However, […]

This project is focussed on developing an optical imaging technology called photoacoustic imaging. Photoacoustic imaging is able to distinguish healthy tissue from cancerous tissue during breast surgery and could one day eliminate the need for repeat surgeries. The technology uses a pulsed laser to selectively build up pressure in some tissues and microphones to listen […]

This project aims at developing a magnetic nanoparticle-based technology that couples novel aptamers (MNP@apt) for targeting T-cell enrichment for CAR-T cell therapy applications. The proposed method offers several advantages to antibody-based isolation of T-cells, namely stability and ability to release captured T-cells. Finally, we aim to develop a method that can be amenable to large-scale […]

Restoration of ecosystems that have been degraded or damaged is important to protect biodiversity and can help Canadians to address climate change by storing carbon and reducing the impact of natural disasters. Satellite images are acquired regularly across all of Canada, including remote areas, and the series of images that builds up over time can […]

TechBA is a program run by the Canada-US-Mexico Foundation for Science (FUMEC) and supported by Mexico’s Secretary of Economy, created to help provide access to the most dynamic business ecosystems for small and medium sized technology-?based Mexican businesses interested in expanding into global markets. With eight locations in highly technologically competitive environments, its objective is […]

Gasification of wastes (either urban waste or residues from forest and agricultural operations) at large scale is a challenging operation because of the heterogeneity of the feedstock. Enerkem has addressed such challenge via its state-of-the art Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) technology coupled with secondary Cracking and Reforming that results in high conversion of Carbon to […]
