Natural Language inherently contains ambiguities which often leads to inaccurate interpretations. While humans possess innate reasoning capabilities and access to vast reservoirs of knowledge to aid in clarification, intelligent machines face limitations in these areas. Knowledge-aware Compute Efficient Agents (KACE) addresses this challenge by leveraging complex reasoning abilities through the integration of information from diverse knowledge sources. Coupled with efficient tools, KACE facilitates Natural Language Understanding (NLU) of text, enabling non-technical business users to reliably and accurately query the data they need for critical in-the-moment decision making.

There is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic approaches for pain. The company has discovered a non-opioid based regulatory mechanism that provides potent pain relief. The company has validated its’ proprietary compounds on this new pain therapy target and the current project will concentrate on the chemical synthesis and biological validation studies to identify and develop back-up compounds as a risk mitigation strategy for the lead compounds currently in development.

The Small teams Big Ideas project aims to address critical gaps in sepsis management by developing ARIADNE, a rapid, integrated point-of-care diagnostic platform. It integrates NRC's microfluidic technology with novel gene circuit-based molecular sensors, facilitated by machine learning algorithms for biomarker refinement. The project spans four phases: target identification and sensor technology development, target validation and integration of microfluidics and sensor technology, testing and performance optimization of prototype and clinical validation of prototype. The platform promises automated, real-time molecular stratification of sepsis severity and immune response subtypes, crucial for personalized care in hospital settings. ARIADNE’s design emphasizes portability, affordability, and ease of use, like rapid antigen tests but with the sensitivity of PCR, enabling decentralized deployment without relying on cold chain logistics.
