Establish an environmental genomics laboratory
To encourage scientific research and related scientific activities and dissemination of scientific knowledge in the areas of: fisheries and aquaculture science; ecosystem science; oceanography and modelling; hydrographic science; and freshwater science.
The funding provided by the IAP program is intended to assist innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in the start-up phase that cannot access existing commercial support related to COVID-19.
There is mounting evidence that a significant source of COVID-19 infections has been through the environment —particularly aerosolized droplets from infected peoples' lungs. A solution is proposed whereby genome sequencing technologies will be used to track pathogens indoors, where workers and/or consumers are in close proximity, using surface and air sampling technologies. This will support a tracking and early alert system for resurgence of the coronavirus or other pathogens (both viral and bacterial).
Quality management system development and implementation
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.
eDNAtec will spearhead an aggressive market strategy in 2020: building a marketing platform, targeting specific ocean industries and marketplaces and raising awareness about its clean and cost effective environmental solutions.
