Contribution as part of the Participant Funding Program to Mitaanjigamiing First Nation to assist in preparing for and engaging in Indigenous consultation activities and public participation opportunities associated with the environmental assessment process for the Bending Lake Iron Project.

With GAC’s support, Action Against Hunger (ACF) is helping address the basic health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene, and protection needs of crisis-affected people in the departments of Guajira, Cesar and Norte de Santander in Colombia. Project activities include: (1) providing prenatal and postnatal health consultations; (2) delivering safe drinking water by providing water filters at reception points; (3) providing nutritional assistance (screening and treatment) to pregnant and lactating women and children under the age of five; and (4) providing training on basic hygiene practices, and waste management, and promoting hygiene to crisis-affected people.

FTIR and Raman are common spectroscopic tools used in materials synthesis and characterization. Deep neural networks will be used to develop an efficient and accurate methodology for simulating accurate spectroscopic signatures at significantly lowered computation cost than currently possible. This study will focus on 2D materials, beginning with graphene. AI will be used to:
1. Produce approximate (yet accurate) spectra from atomic structures using supervised learning on a large dataset of first principles-based calculations. The deep neural network will interpolate those spectra at a fraction of the original cost of generating them. The target is to develop an AI model which allows simulation of spectra from much larger (and therefore complex) structures than currently possible.
2. Searching the space of possible structures to find a simulated spectra which best matches experimental signal. Genetic algorithms will be explored, where the objective function will be to minimize the KL divergence between the spectra produced by the neural network and the experimental signal.

KINeSYS is requesting funds from the CanExport program to complete export market development activities in Australia and Singapore.

With its cutting-edge technological products, Trafic Innovation's ambition is to export its know-how and expertise to the southern and northeastern United States in order to seize growth opportunities.

The Export France 2020 project is entirely dedicated to this product.

The emerging of massive biochemical and high-throughput genomic data acquisition techniques and the rise of advanced artificial intelligence paradigms provide an unprecedented opportunity for automatic design of new drugs with much faster pace and much lower cost, igniting hopes to discovery drugs for diseases where no medicines have been found yet. In this project, the aim is to develop a data- and AI-driven drug design platform/pipeline for precise and effective treatment of cancers and complex diseases. It is possible to take the advantages of NRC’s unique multidisciplinary expertise in AI, data science, and human health therapeutics, as well as recipient’s knowledge and facilities, to tackle challenges in every step of drug design. Project technologies and outcomes will be disruptive and beneficial to all Canadians. This project will focus on search for small molecules carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) novel inhibitors.
