Bioprocess optimisation for liver organoid biomanufacturing

Liver transplants can be a lifesaving treatment for people living with liver disease. However, many patients die on the waiting list every year. This major concern has raised the need to find alternatives to organ replacement therapy. Morphocell Technologies’ product, ReLiver™, uses stem cells to treat liver disease. Stem cells have the ability to self-renew and develop into different tissue types. In this case, the stem cells are developed into liver cells by following a multistage protocol. The 3D structures formed as a result of this protocol are called organoids. These organoids are then enveloped in a hydrogel to create the drug product. However, organoids composed of multiple cell types, complicate manufacturing, quality control, and quality assurance. Removing one or more cell types from the process would streamline production from a cost and manufacturability perspective.
Improving the ReLiver™ manufacturing process could significantly impact the lives of Canadians living with hepatic disease. This project aims to simplify the manufacturing process. This could reduce cost and accelerate access to the therapy.

Investigating the effect of disease-causing TRNT1 mutations on cellular stress response: a pathway to treatment.

The proposed project aims to investigate the link between tRNA maturation and mitochondrial disease using yeast as a model system. Researchers from Carleton University in Canada will collaborate with experts from Comenius University in Slovakia to develop advanced gene-tagging techniques in yeast. This collaboration will allow for the creation of new reagents, tools, and technologies to study the pathophysiology of TRNT1 (CCA1) deficiency, a condition related to mitochondrial diseases. The project is expected to benefit both participating institutions by fostering international research collaboration, enhancing innovation capacity, and providing new insights into mitochondrial disease processes. The Canadian team will gain access to specialized expertise and techniques in yeast molecular biology, while the Slovak team will benefit from the Canadian researchers’ experience in translation regulation and disease modeling. This cross-cultural scientific exchange will not only advance scientific knowledge in the field of mitochondrial diseases but also strengthen the research capabilities of both institutions, potentially leading to future joint grant applications and publications.

Aerobic digestion of sludge in the clarification zone of KAMAK aerated lagoon

Aerated lagoons (ALs) are popular wastewater treatment systems in Quebec for their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. In 2014, Bionest Technologies introduced the KAMAK™ system, which uses fixed bacterial support technology to boost biofilm growth in ALs. Implemented at the Grandes-Piles AL, the KAMAK™ system enhances nitrification, increases biomass concentration, and reduces effluent total suspended solids (TSS). However, over time, sediment accumulation in clarification zones undergoes anaerobic digestion (AD), especially in warm months. AD of sludge can release ammonia and phosphate, resuspend sludge, increase effluent TSS, reduce nitrification efficiency, and emit odors and greenhouse gases like methane. To address these issues and improve sludge management, it is proposed to introduce aeration in clarification zones for the aerobic digestion of sludge. However, aeration intensity must be controlled to avoid disrupting the settling process and causing sludge resuspension. The study aims to assess the efficacy of resuspending and aerobically hydrolyzing accumulated sludge in the KAMAK™ system’s clarification zones. This involves analyzing sludge characteristics, such as total solids (TS), the ratio of total volatile solids (TVS) to TS, temperature, and dissolved oxygen (DO), to determine the oxygen demand and digestibility of different sludge layers.

Oxy-fuel combustion flue gas capture based on rapid cycle vacuum pressure swing adsorption (RCVPSA)

Greenhouse gas emission is a growing hazard, and in Canada, facilities emitting GHG over 10 kt CO2 eq/yr are mandated to report their emissions. Oxy-fuel combustion (OFC) is one promising solution for decarbonizing industrial production plants with post-combustion carbon capture. However, the implementation in existing facilities is limited by logistical aspects such as the lack of space necessary for the installation of the gas processing units. The project intends to leverage the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process to facilitate the OFC gas unit integration through miniaturization and process intensification. The
research aims to develop a rapid-cycle vacuum pressure swing adsorption (RCVPSA) system, which reduces the size of the adsorbent columns down to 20% compared to current benchmarks while maintaining the gas yield. A rotary valve design has been devised to substitute the solenoid valve system normally present in PSA applications. Adsorbent structures are investigated to adapt to the more demanding operational conditions.

Conception et documentation de l’exposition inaugurale et permanente du Musée canadien de l’aluminium. L’aluminium comme phénomène historique et culturel au Canada

Ce projet vise la conception et la documentation de l’exposition inaugurale et permanente du Musée canadien de l’aluminium, en considérant plus particulièrement l’aluminium en tant que phénomène historique et culturel au Canada. Le projet vise ainsi à définir une offre muséale innovante sur les scènes québécoise, canadienne et internationale, tout en comblant des lacunes importantes sur le plan des connaissances, de la valorisation historique et de l’accès public au patrimoine.
En effet, bien que le Canada ait été longtemps au XXe siècle le principal producteur d’aluminium, ce métal le 2e plus utilisé dans le monde,l’aventure aluminière québécoise et canadienne reste peu connue et risque de tomber dans l’oubli. Ce problème est d’autant plus critique que les travailleurs et les travailleuses, qui ont jalonné cette histoire, sont eux-mêmes relégués à l’arrière-scène par les fermetures et les reconfigurations qui ont affecté cette industrie. Il semble donc naturel de mettre à profit l’héritage matériel de celle-ci, plus encore dans les murs de la première aluminerie canadienne, pour revaloriser le rôle social et la parole de ces personnes et de leurs communautés, particulièrement en intégrant leur participation à un récit scientifique, informé et original sur l’aluminium, centré sur le Québec, le Canada et Shawinigan.
