The Centre for Drug Research and Development CDRD is a unique hybrid organization that brings together researchers, institutions and industry to bridge the gap between primary research and the successful development of new medicines.

CDRD combines an academic research infrastructure that enables B.C. researchers in universities and hospitals throughout the province to focus and amplify their drug discovery and development efforts, with a commercialization arm that drives drug development projects and brings the technology to market either by creating companies or licensing to an existing company. The CDRD network includes more than 250 life sciences researchers across the province. For more information, visit www.cdrd.ca

Integrated Engineering Software (IES) is a leading developer of high performance electromagnetic simulation software. Founded in 1984, IES provides a complete line of fully integrated 2 and 3 dimensional simulation software. Easy to use, IES' products allow engineers and scientists to design, simulate and optimize complex electromagnetic devices and systems on the computer before building a physical prototype. IES software programs are used worldwide by engineers who would rather take design risks at the computer simulation stage, than make costly mistakes prior to prototyping or manufacturing. It allows companies to reduce design time and costs, spend less money on expensive prototypes, improve product performance, decrease time to market and ultimately increase profitability.more...

European Institute of Science sells CE approved equipment (In Vitro Magnetic Field Generators) for exposing biological samples or tissues to strong alternating magnetic fields (1 Mhz & 3 mT), especially suitable for hyperthermia experiments with magnetic nanoparticles. Additional products include Magnetic Permeability Meter MPM-100 which is being used in molecular biology research. With the MPM-100 meter, it is possible to measure the relative magnetic permeability of a material (liquid or powder). The relative magnetic permeability can be used as a tool for quality control and research employing magnetic markers.

Magnabeat Inc. developed the magnetic Therma-MaxTM particles for the separation of many different bio-substances. Therma-MaxTM shows a reversible transition between flocculation and dispersion at its critical temperature due to a thermo-responsive polymer coating. Difficult to separate magnetic nanoparticles can now be easily separated by adjusting the temperature. In addition, Therma-MaxTM particles disperse well in aqueous solution, and are thus easily used in high precision liquid handling, automation, or robotic processes. These advantages enable the use of the Therma-MaxTM technology for immunodiagnostics, environmental endocrine disrupter inspection, and also the processing of ultra small amounts of protein used in the genome drug development.
