Title:
In search of blood cellular optical barcodes signifying otherwise silent cardiovascular risk
Agreement Value:
$25,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 15, 2019 - Jun 30, 2021
Description:
Some 2.4 million Canadians live with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Many will die, diagnosed only once irreversible cardiac damage is done, despite passing all cholesterol tests! Combining microfluidic sample preparation and infrared spectroscopy-based metabolic fingerprinting ("barcoding"), the project aims to save those lives by discovering new circulating markers signifying elevated CVD risk.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
