At the pandemic’s outset, uOttawa researcher Michael Organ was approached by Toronto Research Chemicals (TRC) to create a flow reactor that manufactures a key molecule used to prepare PCR test kits to diagnose COVID-19. Billions of tests have since been performed around the world thanks to his flow reactor technology.

As our population grows, so does the need for rehabilitation, particularly for the youngest and oldest populations (40% of the Canadian population). At the same time, most health care systems are also facing a clinical staffing shortage that is difficult to address, in part because of associated costs. Professors Anna Zumbansen and Gilles Comeau were awarded a CFI grant to search for innovative so...
