•demonstrated that ZV can cross the blood-brain barrier
•showed that ZV infects glioblastoma cells to varying degrees, suggesting that genetically modified ZV could be developed to target therapeutics to glioblastoma cells
•developed a robust mouse model of ZV infection to test potential Zika vaccines
The NRC further leveraged its business relationship with Variation Biotechnologies Inc. (VBI) to bring the company's proprietary vaccine platform into this global effort to fight the emerging Zika epidemic. To this end, VBI and the NRC submitted a joint ZV grant proposal to the National Institute of Health. This strategic collaboration between VBI and the NRC has already led to the development of a plaque reduction neutralization assay at the NRC, and a collaborative research agreement to evaluate VBI's candidate enveloped virus-like particle (eVLP) vaccines is underway.

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) signed a strategic agreement with Brilliant Matters to license the intellectual property of one of their semiconductors. Through this licensing agreement, Brilliant Matters will have access to a high-performing material developed at the NRC. The use of this material will help Brilliant Matters generate higher-performing semiconductors to produce organic photovoltaics at a lower cost. The final product, which will be produced in Canada, will increase the country's competitiveness on the organic semiconductor market and ultimately provide better and more affordable photovoltaics worldwide.

October 20 is World Statistics Day. At the NRC, we use statistics and data on a daily basis, in all of our research areas, to answer questions for our clients and collaborators and to advance scientific knowledge. The NRC’s Digital Technologies Research Centre is particularly active in the analysis of data, and offers a specialized facility called the Data Analytics Centre where government, academic and industrial clients can collaborate with NRC experts to analyze their data.

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has a long tradition of working with Canadian athletes to help them achieve their best in international competitive sports, including the Winter and Summer Olympics, and the Paralympics. For 50 years, NRC researchers have worked with athletes from many sports to help them test their equipment and optimize their aerodynamic positions so they are more efficient in their technique, thus making them go faster.
