Application of 3D Pose Similarity in Molecular Docking on Ensemble of Crystal-Structures for Accurate Prediction of Activity

This project aims to develop a method for accurately assessing the enzymatic activity of large libraries of compounds. To do this we will employ computational modeling of small molecules in an ensemble of protein crystal structures. The results of this work will lead to a better understanding of the relationship between docked poses and crystal poses, and of the relationship between docked poses and pharmacological activity. The results of this work will help Variational AI understand how to effectively leverage docked poses to more accurately predict and optimize pharmacological activity, facilitating Variational AI’s drug discovery efforts.

A Prospective Model for Predicting Driver Workload, and Safety Related Distraction, using Heterogeneous Data and Machine Learning

There is an increasing amount of potentially distracting information being made available to drivers. However, applications (e.g., for navigation, work, entertainment, etc.) need to be aware of driver workload so that they don’t create unsafe distraction. This work is important because distracted driving is a major risk factor for road accidents and the threat of distraction is slowing down the implementation of entertainment and productivity applications in vehicles. The goal of this research will be to develop a system that can predict driver workload. This type of prediction is needed so that future AI systems can schedule the availability of technology interactions (e.g., reading out text messages) so that they do not distract the driver at a dangerous time. This research will differ from previous research in that it will focus on predicting future, rather than current workload, to support planning of travel paths and scheduled activities.

Évaluation des initiatives favorisant l’utilisation optimale des médicaments biosimilaires dans le secteur des payeurs privés

iA Groupe financier est un groupement de sociétés d’assurance et de gestion de patrimoine des plus importants au Canada. Plus de la moitié des personnes couvertes par iA viennent du Québec. Le 6 juillet 2021, Régie d’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) a annoncé une transition des patients utilisant des médicaments biologiques de référence, c’est-à-dire des médicaments fabriqués à partir d’organismes vivants ou de cellules, vers des médicaments biologiques similaires. L’objectif du projet de recherche sera d’évaluer des initiatives qui seront mises en place par iA dans le but de favoriser une transition vers l’utilisation optimale des médicaments biosimilaires. Ce projet éduquera la population canadienne sur les médicaments biologiques similaires ayant le même effet que les médicaments biologiques de référence, mais à moindre coût. Ainsi, l’organisme partenaire assura une saine gestion des régimes d’assurance collective des Canadiens. De plus, l’organisme partenaire pourra avantager d’une analyse approfondie de ses stratégies de communication et bénéficier de recommandations émises propres à ces besoins à la suite du projet.

Une nouvelle plateforme de nanothérapie contre le cancer de la prostate basée sur la photo-ablation, à l’aide d’imagerie et de surveillance

Prostate Cancer has become the most diagnosed cancer in men in Canada. Nanoparticles have a myriad of unique properties, the most striking is their incredible ability to absorb light and convert this energy into intense heat. Therefore, the placement of particles to a tumor, dissipating extreme near-field energy, would cause complete ablation. In realizing this goal, we have selected multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as they afford us: 1. extreme heat generating properties, 2. easily functionalized with many different molecules, and 3. safe
without systemic toxic effects. In this project, interns will be responsible for applying the nanotherapeutics platform to a prostate cancer animal model. Incorporated into the project will be a novel imaging modality, that will allow for the real-time visualization of the photo-ablative process. With this, Guzzo Nano Research will be responsible for introducing of nanoparticles into clinical medicine and offer a unique opportunity to entertain a new class of cancer agent to both the patients and physicians.

Modeling of flow in heat exchangers optimised for additive manufacturing

The proposed research aims to 3D print a series of heat exchangers in plastic and metal to optimize the pressure drop and heat transfer. An initial prototype will produce experimental data to validate a numerical model, which can then be used to rapidly evaluate future heat exchanger designs. Optimizing the pressure drop and heat transfer will lead to an increase in energy efficiency of the heat exchanger. Overall, the partner organization will benefit from an optimized 3-D printed heat exchanger product, as well as a numerical model to allow them to quickly evaluate the performance of a novel heat exchanger design.

Updating the 2008 Prairie North Health Region Health Status Report

The purpose of the Health Status report is to provide a snapshot of the health of the population served by the Prairie North Regional Health Authority (PNRHA). Its vision of “healthy people in healthy communities” serves as the driving force of the report in hopes to better understand the social, economic, physical, political and cultural context within the PNHRA. For the intern, the PNRHA provides the necessary organizational environment, support, mentor and supervision to the intern in a public health setting while the student accomplishes the given project. The PNRHA is able to focus on other areas of importance and focus on its mission to achieve the safest and best possible care, experience and health for the community it serves.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on drug safety surveillance: An analysis of spontaneous reporting databases in Canada and the United States

The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on everyone and was heavily covered by the media. Studies have shown that the pandemic itself and the media coverage might have influenced the number of adverse drug reactions that were reported to regulatory agencies. This project aims at determining how it affected the reporting of all adverse drug reactions and the ones following COVID-19 vaccines. Therefore, the types of report, the severity of the reaction, if it was reported by a professional or the general population and the characteristics of the patient will be extracted from publicly available databases in Canada (Canada vigilance) and the US (VAERS). This information will then be compared pre-pandemic vs during the pandemic as well as according to the timing of safety warnings provided by the media.

Évaluer l’expérience-employé dans les PME : conception d’indicateurs et évaluation auprès d’employés de différents secteurs

Le projet consiste à la mise en place d’une plateforme informative disponible aux PMEs sur les quatre volets de la rémunération globale, soit la rémunération direction, les avantages sociaux, le climat de travail et le développement professionnels. L’objectif est de permettre aux PMEs de se référer à une banque de données présentée sous forme d’indicateurs de fidélisation des employés, laquelle considère le point de vue des employés, la perception des gestionnaires et le positionnement concurrentiel. Afin d’y parvenir, la première étape consiste à créer et valider un questionnaire qui servira de base pour la compilation des données. La deuxième étape consiste à utiliser les données afin de créer des indicateurs parlants pour les gestionnaires de PME et qui les aident à prendre de meilleures décisions en matière d’offre de rémunération globale.

Les compétences sensitives et motrices orofaciales fines sont-elles un mécanisme commun sous-tendant la parole

En clinique comme en recherche, il est souvent supposé que le contrôle moteur de la parole se développerait en étroite relation avec d’autres fonctions orofaciales non spécifiques à la parole, comme par exemple la respiration ou la mastication. Toutefois,
cette théorie ne fait pas du tout l’unanimité. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de cette thèse de doctorat est d’étudier l’interaction potentielle entre le développement de la parole et le développement des fonctions orofaciales non-verbales, appelé développement myofonctionnel orofacial. Nous postulons que le lien potentiel entre le développement de la parole et le développement myofonctionnel ne serait pas direct mais nécessiterait l’intermédiaire d’habilités somatosensorielles et motrices orofaciales fines durant le développement de la parole chez le jeune enfant.

Investigating the application of composting for phosphorous recovery from alum precipitated sludge

The feasibility of composting alum phosphate sludge that is produced in the process of phosphorous removal at wastewater lagoons is investigated in this project. The sludge is produced in an innovative phosphorous removal system that is being tested in a pilot scale at the RM of Taché, MB. The dewatered sludge will be stockpiled in three windrows at the RM of Taché landfill and will be mixed with 1x, 1.5x, and 2x volumes of woodchips. A cover may be used to control the moisture content and temperature of windrows. A number of parameters including moisture content, temperature, and pH of the windrows will be monitored throughout the process of composting. Parallel to the field composting, a bench controlled composting experiment at the laboratory environment. The final compost products will be analyzed and will be applied to three types of plants to assess the bioavailability of nutrients in the compost. Also the toxicity of the final products will be evaluated. The ultimate goal of this project is to produce a compost product that can meet the characteristics of Class A biosolids in Canada.

RAFT data science project for data analysis and visualization along with database upkeep

There are many process and raw materials distinctions between brewing beer at large, multinational scales and at small, regional craft scales. However, the longstanding dominance of large industry players means most available data on brewing are derived from studies conducted at large scales. There is much yet to understand about quality and efficiency outcomes of brewing at a small scale.
Raft Brew Labs is positioned as the analytical lab for many craft breweries across Western Canada, providing it a unique line of sight on manufacturing processes leading to positive or negative quality and efficiency outcomes in these facilities. The company constructed a database through 2020-2021 to integrate client data both for the longterm monitoring of single facilities and for integrating data from multiple facilities. These approaches present a competitive advantage for Raft clients in monitoring and industry benchmarking.
As a case study, we aim to combine process data with analytical and quality outcomes for a single brewery to yield key insights into the factors that matter for small breweries, with the potential to disseminate new and improved practices to similarly sized facilities.
