The approval of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies has been a major breakthrough for patients with relapsed or refractory blood cancers. However, CAR-T cells are highly complex, live cell therapies, and it has proven difficult to predict CAR-T cell potency. Great improvements in laser and detector technologies have led to an explosive growth in biomedical applications of Raman spectroscopy (RS), including leading contributions by this group. RS measures the macromolecular changes in T cells that are phenotypical of their activation state and other changes. The objective of this project is to contribute to the NRC search for potency biomarkers, based on the RS analysis of CLIC-01 patient cell samples taken prior to infusion. This contributes a novel and orthogonal analytical dimension to the overall NRC search for biomarkers that predict the efficacy of the treatment for each patient, and thereby when costly CAR-T cell treatments should be performed

This project aims to develop new materials to enable low-cost, flexible and visibly transparent detection of near-infrared (NIR) light. Current detectors are high performance but are costly to fabricate and limited in form factor. Novel materials such as organic semiconductors (OSCs) or 2D materials have shown promise for NIR detection. In particular the modular synthesis of OSCs allows a huge variety of possible structures, enabling precise control of the absorption characteristics and compatibility with low-temperature solution processing techniques. However, NIR detectors based on OSCs tend to have poor environmental stability and there are challenges in designing materials which are sensitive at the second NIR window. Combining semiconducting polymers with 2D materials could lead to flexible, inexpensive devices. Brilliant Matters will collaborate with NRC and the 2D Materials and Electrochemical Devices lab at the University of Waterloo in order to investigate the potential for these hybrid materials and deliver additively manufactured flexible, transparent NIR photodetectors. This will enable a transformative leap in applications, moving away from the cost and design limitations of expensive, rigid and opaque sensors.

The purpose of this CanExport Innovation agreement is to support Canadian organizations to carry out activities related to pursuing opportunities that would lead to establishing new collaborative Research and Development (R&D) partnerships between the Recipient and foreign organizations in order to support R&D on the Recipient’s technology and advance its commercialization.

Feasibility and technical de-risking of a fully autonomous marina navigation and docking system for 7.5m recreational pleasure craft.

Across the world, there are number of regulations and requirements in the mining industry which dictate how products are designed, developed, certified and manufactured in order to be allowed , installed and operate in the mines.

In this project we will conduct a comprehensive investigations and research to identify the relevant regulations and compliance standards required in our mining industry. Further, we will perform complete analyses to identify the requirements of modifying our current technologies, NeuraCom system, for compliance with these regulations and standards. A comprehensive plan and strategy report will be developed as road map for our technology Regulatory and Compliance Certification Program.
