Agreement Date:
Feb 15, 2025 - Feb 14, 2028
Description:
This collaboration will fulfill an urgent public health gap by developing
“ARIADNE” (platform for Accelerated and pRecisIon pAndemic
Diagnostics and iNfection hEalth), a novel de-centralized molecular
analytical tool for deployment in “non-expert” care settings for timely
stratification and triage of patients. The proof of-principle work will
target sepsis, a complex and heterogeneous life-threatening
dysregulated response to infection that rapidly progresses to multiorgan failure and death when not identified and treated appropriately.
The ultimate aim is to facilitate appropriate and informed care by
providing critical information regarding immune response subtypes
that will inform patient triage and therapeutics and triage. Previously
identified sepsis biomarkers will be refined and codified using new
generation ML algorithms for use in rapid testing at the point of need.

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.
