PlantForm Corporation, a University of Guelph spin-off company, is working to secure funding for more trials of its innovative treatments to combat critical illnesses like cancer.

The principle focus of PlantForm’s work is using tobacco plants to create low-cost versions of biosimilar drugs – plant-based, generic versions of biological medications.

The plants are grown indoors and, through genetic engineering, made to express certain compounds that are then purified into alternatives to popular drugs like Herceptin, used to treat breast cancer.

POTSDAM -- A Clarkson professor and Hannawa Falls resident is using hemp and peanut shells to create more efficient batteries.

David Mitlin, a professor of both chemical, bio-molecular, mechanical and aeronautical engineering, recently received international media attention for producing supercapacitors out of hemp bast fiber -- the material found inside the bark of the hemp plant.

The new "super caps" performed on a par with or better than graphene -- the industry standard -- and at a fraction of the cost. The hemp used is legal to grow and contains no THC.

Grower hopes hemp growing would be made more freely available to them were dashed when this was rejected because of transport concerns.

Traditional retailers have become much more adept at using technology to push back against online-only e-commerce sites. 

Beacons are among the most important new mobile technologies helping real-world merchants win back sales. These low-cost devices communicate with smartphone apps indoors through a Bluetooth signal. Last year saw tons of retailers testing beacons, including Macy's and Target. This year, hundreds of big retail chains are turning those devices on and using them to communicate with mainstream consumers in store.
