Impact of bioactive peptides derived from collagen hydrolysate on osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast signalling

Genacol Canada Corporation Inc. manufactures a collagen hydrolysate (CH) supplement sourced from bovine (Genacol® Original Formula) that has shown positive results and potent efficacy in three clinical trials for reducing joint pain. Following digestion and absorption, CHs release amino acids and peptides that can lead to the health-promoting properties of the supplement. Recent studies suggest that joint pain is a multi-tissue disease and involves both articular cartilage and bone. However, the current understanding of the effects of Genacol’s CHs on bone health is still inadequate. For this reason, our proposed study aims to further elucidate the underlying mechanisms of action of CHs and CH-derived bioactive peptides on the formation and activity of bone-resorbing osteoclasts using primary osteoclast cultures. This approach will assist in developing more targeted and potent hydrolyzed collagen products by establishing the health-promoting properties of the Genacol collagen supplement.

How tree diversity influences soil carbon and nitrogen accumulation in Canadian forests

Increasing soil carbon and nitrogen storage is critical for mediating climate change and sustaining soil fertility. A large number of biodiversity manipulation experiments have collectively suggested that high plant diversity increases soil carbon and nitrogen stocks; however, it remains untested whether such conclusions hold in natural ecosystems. We will analyse Canada’s National Forest Inventory database using structural equation modelling to test this relationship. Through this project, I will have opportunity to work with Prof. Reich to improve study design and analysis method for this project. I will publish this result on a top journal and get multiple training opportunities to advance my career during this project.

Development of a research prototype user interface for secure data sharing

In this project, we are trying to expose our existing core system functionalities to a public user interface. We will design, implement and test a research prototype user interface that can provide simple and flexible content sharing over a web-based user interface (UI) for organizations such as healthcare or surveillance systems that require a mechanism for (patrial-)sharing content between users in a simple way while providing a chain of custody. This research prototype UI will prepare us for designing a production-ready public UI that will be accessible over web and provides a way for organizations that potentially use our core system, to interact with the underlying system in a simple way.

Synergy of functionalization and surface nanostructuring to obtain bactericidal surfaces and their characterization by surface plasmon resonance

Microbial contamination of surfaces in specific environments is a significant public health issue. Nosocomial infections and those linked to the installation of implants claim many victims each year. To effectively fight against this proliferation, several methods are available or under development to confer antibacterial properties to surfaces. Chemical functionalization and physical nanostructuring are the most common methods, but they both have advantages and drawbacks. Moreover, only a few studies have used a combination, and these investigations are often limited to a few strains or functionalization. Our project aims to find promising antimicrobial functionalization and surface nanostructuring to study their potential synergy. Finally, the mechanisms of cell/surface interaction still need to be fully understood, and we propose to use Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRI) to be able to study different functionalization and surface structuring in parallel. The Intern will tackle the optimization of the electrochemical nanostructuring process developed by the Ph.D. student working on this project for two years. The Intern aims to explore a larger panel of deposition parameters using a Design of Experiment and to optimize the process to reduce the deposited thickness and allow surface characterization using SPRI.

Les rebelles agissent-ils de manière stratégique ? Une histoire de mines artisanales, de taxation illégale et de violence en RDC

La République démocratique du Congo (RDC) est un pays particulièrement riche en ressources naturelles. Les diamants, le cuivre ou encore l’or sont autant de ressources que l’on peut retrouver dans le sol de ce pays, particulièrement dans les régions situées à l’est. Cependant, ces régions sont également connues sur la scène internationale comme étant le théâtre de nombreux conflits armés. En effet, plusieurs groupes rebelles sont présents dans ces régions et usent régulièrement de la violence contre d’autres groupes rebelles, des civils ou encore les forces gouvernementales. La littérature a expliqué la persistance de conflits dans ces régions par la présence de nombreuses mines artisanales qui permettent de financer les rebelles. Dans ce contexte, le projet de recherche vise à comprendre les motivations des rebelles à user de la violence. En particulier, le projet s’intéresse à la relation entre la dispersion géographique de la violence autour des mines et la capacité de financement d’une mine. Ce projet permettra de mettre en lumière les comportements stratégiques des rebelles afin d’orienter les politiques visant à réduire la violence dans ces régions.

The efficacy of fall and burn operations on the erradication of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) in Alberta

Bunch and burn operations is a common tool for controlling the spread of mountain pine beetle in Alberta and involves felling and piling of infested pine trees and subsequently, burning the log decks to eradicate the beetles. Current practices mandate the complete burn of the bark, whereas past studies and government standards have shown that heat levels of 56C is sufficient to kill most pests and pathogens. This study will test the efficiency of bunch and burn operations, as well as comparing different log deck structures, in eradicating mountain pine beetle larvae. The goal of this project is to find out whether complete burning of the bark is required or whether the heat generated from burning is sufficient in killing mountain pine beetle larvae. Different log deck structures will also be compared to determine the optimal log pile dynamic to promote the highest heat levels and most efficient structure for eradicating mountain pine beetle larvae.
