Monitoring hormone levels in saliva can be used to assess female reproductive health, which can yield many benefits to individuals. For example, those that have fertility issues can use hormone levels in saliva to improve their chances of conception, while the monitoring hormone levels over time could also be used to track and help treat […]

Video endoscopy is the main diagnostic and screening method for cancer screening in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Currently, the endoscopic video is not sufficiently documented, which makes reviewing of these videos difficult. The research team will partner with the company to develop an audio/video recording technology to combine physician voice annotation of the video during […]

The Arctic Research Foundation (ARF) is a private, non-profit organization creating a scientific infrastructure for the Canadian Arctic. Over the years, it has generated and collected a huge volume of big data. These valuable big data need to be managed. In response, we design an effective database to (a) integrate these big data (which may […]

The Niagara Escarpment is a dominant landform in southern Ontario and provides the region with exceptional sites of natural beauty including numerous waterfalls and exposed rocky cliffs. However, the escarpment is also a geomorphic feature formed by ongoing erosion processes that create many challenges for those living near or enjoying its natural beauty. Unfortunately, there […]

The proposed research project to be undertaken is to develop a fully functional online RFP management application that is secure, intuitive, and is well positioned for acceptance and adoption by the biopharma industry, with focus on the Innovator (sponsor) and Provider segments. The expected benefit to the partner organization is the ability to provide a […]

L’hépatite B est une affection hépatique causée par le virus de l’hépatite B (VHB) qui peut évoluer sous une forme chronique et exposer les malades à un risque important de cirrhose et/ou de cancer hépatique.

Most people with type 1 diabetes control their blood sugar levels through frequent blood glucose monitoring and insulin injections or infusion. Insulin therapy is life-saving but also life-altering and leads to decreased life expectancy. Instead, insulin-producing cells could be transplanted in devices which would prevent their rejection by the immune system. The design of these […]

As people and institutions around the world are incurring the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, education has felt a large blow. This blow is not only felt by students in post-secondary education who are needing to be educated, but also by instructors, administrators and staff who are all being transitioned into the online format.

The Coda Continuous Delivery platform leverages advanced artificial intelligence techniques to accelerate innovation in software development and delivery. The project aims to improve the speed in which a software development team can achieve quality code and reduce the number of issues seen by customers in production. Using a continuously learning platform, Coda catalogues historical issues […]

Fungal rust infection of wheat is an ongoing problem in Canada and use of commercial fungicides is increasing while the problem of fungicidal resistance is also arising. This project aims to develop optimized fungicidal treatments for fungal rust infection of wheat. The issue of inefficient penetration of commercial fungicides will be addressed by applying a […]

The speed and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged our abilities, as forecasters, like never before. Early data on the disease’s epidemiology is limited, records of cases and infections are incomplete, and the dynamics and scientific understanding of the disease are changing daily. Scientists from around the world have been quick to respond by […]

With the support of Mitacs, Dr.Ynuk Bossé’s laboratory and SCIREQ will collaborate to refine the techniques and instrumentation needed to improve Precision-Cut Lung Slices (PCLS) studies. PCLS are thin organ slices prepared from fully developed organs. They represent a “mini-model” that closely resembles the whole lung in both anatomical structure and rich cellular environment. Dr.Bossé […]
