Grants and Contributions

The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.

This project builds on the success of the work done over the last two years in establishing clinical grade manufacturing for both lentivirus and cell products, and in executing the first clinical trial using a made-in-Canada CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. The goal over the next 18 months is to build much-needed capacity in point-of-care (POC) manufacturing to support the clinical roll-out of novel CAR T-cell products and other personalized cell therapy products with the addition of three new POC manufacturing and clinical sites across Canada. In parallel, and with direct involvement of the NRC, it will be aimed to initiate a minimum of two new, high-content, academically motivated clinical trials to be started by the end of the project and completed with the next five years for the benefit of cancer patients from across Canada.

Exploiting genome editing technology to engineer enhanced and novel therapeutic attributes into clinically relevant cell types represents a disruptive modality to circumvent current challenges in cell- and gene-based therapies. The goal of this Project is to establish genome engineering tools amenable to automated and high throughput platforms that facilitate the engineering of therapeutic attributes into human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Once established, these tools will be foundational to accelerating the innovation and discovery cycles of engineered cell-based therapies with increased safety, affordability and accessibility in the space of regenerative medicine and immunotherapy.

The Project supports the creation of a new technology platform, High- Performance Marine Computing Cluster (HPMCC), which will include 33 new nodes (1320 computer cores) and will be added to the Memorial University of
Newfoundland's (MUN) existing 700-core cluster within the Department of Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering (ONAE) computing cluster. This increased computing capacity will be accessed by both NRC and MUN
researchers together with a broader collaborative network that will support Ocean Supercluster (OSC) activities in the areas of green ship technologies to mitigate underwater noises from ships and to improve ship efficiency;
simulations of harsh ocean environments, including large waves, ice and iceberg movements; safe operation of ships and offshore structures in harsh ocean environments; digital twins for operation and maintenance of ocean
assets; and marine autonomous surface ships.
