The proposed project involves COVID-19 detection using solution of gold nanoparticles. Upon detection, the gold solution changes its color from red to blue. The solution contains gold nanoparticles with biomolecules that can detect SARS-Cov-2 virus genome that causes COVID-19. The first step is to take saliva sample from the patient and put it inside the […]

This research project will determine the specific combination of two naturally-occurring anti-infective agents that gives the strongest antibiotic effect against a multi-drug-resistant bacteria called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, known as MRSA. As MRSA is a leading cause of skin infection, the anti-infective agents will be incorporated into a specialized wound care film, designed to heal wounds […]

This MITACS project aims to investigate the durability of IONOMR’s PEMIONTM membranes in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM)-based fuel cells for automotive and other applications. Specific test conditions and protocols for use at IONOMR based on industry standards will be developed and the materials will be benchmarked against current state-of-the-art materials in order to prioritize development […]

In the prior Mitacs funding cluster, a clinical trial of opioid addiction was initiated and approved by both Health Canada and the ethics board of the Saint Joseph General Hospital. This research project expands upon that work. A smoking cravings reduction program using SmartStim transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been initiated by NorDocs, and […]

This project intends to prepare DECAP’s minimum viable product (MVP) and ancillary designs for market-readiness, including building out a manufacturing and logistics pipeline, beginning the process of regulatory approval, and assist DECAP team members in completing a beta-test of our products in-the-field, in a COVID-19-safe manner. The expected project benefits are understanding the market, approaching […]

Structural integrity assessments play a key role in ensuring the safe service of oil/gas pipelines. In recent years, significant developments in pipeline strain-based design have taken place to account for the large plasticity involved in the installation and operation of pipelines. However, current methodologies cannot properly address the effects of anisotropic material properties and weldments […]

Our two interns will support the planning and execution of projects and operations across Canada. Goodlawyer launched our latest product, a subscription offering called Goodlawyer Pro, in early November. Our MBSI interns will be central to our efforts to grow our user base and make Goodlawyer Pro a success. Most projects will revolve around digital […]
