Valorisation des bardeaux d’asphalte post-consommation (BAPC) dans les matériaux de construction de routes en milieu insulaire

Le projet, prenant place aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine, consiste à évaluer la performance géotechnique de bardeaux d’asphalte post-consommation conditionné dans du MR5, matériaux granulaires recyclés utilisés notamment par le ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité Durable pour les accotements routiers (MTMDQ). En effet, les bardeaux d’asphalte sont une matière résiduelle problématique aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine puisqu’environ 400 tonnes sont générées annuellement et doivent être exportées de l’archipel vers l’enfouissement à St-Rosaire, soit à 1200 km de transport. Cette matière génère donc des gaz à effet de serre de transport et pourrait être valorisée localement pour créer un circuit court d’économie circulaire. Ainsi, suite au succès d’un projet pilote d’intégration du bardeau dans du gravier en 2019-2020, ce présent projet cherche à valider l’application de bardeaux dans du MR5 pour créer un partenariat avec le CERMIM et le MTMDQ pour valorisation de masse, via la caractérisation détaillée des propriétés géotechniques de ce matériau bonifié, tout en ouvrant la voie à la valorisation d’autres matières résiduelles dans les infrastructures routières. Ce projet s’assure également de suivre les requis environnementaux du MELCCFP.

Effects of catch and release practices on survival, physiology and metabolism in marine salmon

Pacific salmon face a gauntlet of fishing gear as they migrate from oceanic feeding grounds to freshwater spawning sites, and while millions of fish typically are harvested each year in BC, a large portion are released. Catch and release (C/R) is a management option that allows recreational fishing opportunities and the economic benefits it entails to local communities and the sport fishing industry. C/R can also lead to high levels of ‘latent’ mortality due to injuries and prolonged air exposure associated with capture and landing. We will capture marine adult coho salmon using a range of typical approaches (e.g. varying landing times, hook types, and landing net types), transport them to a lab for 14 day holding, and relate ultimate physiological condition and mortality to fishing approaches. Exhaustive exercise can also lead to latent mortality yet this has never been examined in marine fisheries. We will use boat- and land-based respirometry to also investigate the metabolic costs of typical C/R approaches to see if metabolic collapse is occurring and contributing to physiological state and mortality during the holding period. Results will be used to help determine best C/R practices for coho salmon.

Investigating the experiences of Indigenous patients accessing Naturopathic medicine.

Due to colonization and other on-going social determinants of health, Indigenous Peoples in Canada experience severe health inequities. There is little research exploring the experiences of Indigenous Peoples with naturopathic medicine, despite the alignment between Indigenous concepts of health and naturopathic philosophy and practice. The role of naturopathic medicine in Indigenous healthcare is unclear.
This project will act as a catalyst to spark research, relationship building and advocacy in order to clarify what the naturopathic medicine has to offer to Indigenous communities as they create their own self-determined health care models. It will also clarify to the naturopathic profession what improvements need to be made to naturopathic healthcare delivery models in order to best serve Indigenous patients across Canada.

siRNA Therapy of Blood Cancer – Preclinical Efficacy & Safety Evaluation

Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA offer exceptional opportunities to fight against infectious and genetic diseases. To use nucleic acids effectively in a clinical setting, one needs to use effective delivery vehicles that can deliver the nucleic acids into the diseased cells. This project will develop effective delivery systems for this purpose. The delivery systems will be used to deliver RNA based therapeutic agents in particular diseases, namely hematological cancers. We will develop specific drugs against these diseases and test them in animal models of the diseases. Successful completion of this project will advance the therapies towards clinical testing.

Mentoring for Youth and Young Adults from Care (MYYAC) Project Evaluation

This project between the Evaluation Capacity Network (ECN) at the University of Alberta and the Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) has 3 objectives: (1) support AMP and its partner organizations in implementing a
community-based evaluation of their new Mentoring for Youth and Young Adults from Care (MYYAC) program; (1a) provide evaluation capacity building supports to facilitate the evaluation; (2) research how participatory
evaluation and other evaluation capacity building processes build evaluation capacity; and (3) document processes of decolonizing and Indigenizing evaluation and evaluation capacity building. Interns will achieve these
goals using community-based participatory research and community-based evaluation. This project will provide information to AMP, MYYAC organizations, and other stakeholders that informs, improves, and demonstrates the
impact of the MYYAC program. We also hope this project will help build the capacity of AMP and MYYAC organizations to gather evidence that informs their programs, practices, and policies for supporting children, youth,
and families.

Human cellular models to test lipid nanoparticle potency for mRNA

mRNA vaccine technologies came to the forefront of public health during the recent global pandemic and this technology also has great potential for other therapeutic approaches. These vaccine platforms require that the mRNA be encapsulated by fat molecules into structures called “lipid nanoparticles”, and the specific chemical formulations of the mRNA and fats determine the extent to which immune cells like monocytes are recruited to the intramuscular injection site and respond to the mRNA. To support advancement of new mRNA delivery formulations by biomanufacturers like industry partner BIOVECTRA, we will develop a platform to test mRNA lipid nanoparticle responses in human cells (fibroblasts, skeletal myotubes, and monocytes). This work will develop human models of vaccine potency that will be useful for testing new mRNA delivery formulations and will provide new approaches for testing immune responses to mRNAs and lipid nanoparticles, which will support development of safer and more effective therapeutics.

Differential mobility spectrometry enables high throughput plasma proteomics with deep coverage

Human blood contains a large collection of proteins that can provide insight for early detection and projection of disease. Global protein profiling is commonly enabled by mass spectrometry (or MS; a technology that identifies protein components by mass), but the identification of proteins in blood is challenging because of the sheer complexity of blood samples. To reduce sample complexity, protein mixtures are often simplified through liquid phase separations prior to MS detection. Yet, these separation processes are insufficient for simplifying complex proteins during fast clinical testing, leading to the detection of a small number of proteins. To address this challenge, researchers have included gas-phase separations, which separate molecules based on different properties than liquid-phase separations, prior to MS analysis. Differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) is one such gas-phase separation technique that can supplement liquid-phase separations by separating molecules based on a combination of properties, including size, structure, and charge. Here, the intern proposes a partnership with SCIEX, a Canadian leader in MS technologies, to combine SCIEX’s DMS device with state-of-the-art MS instruments to improve the quality of protein detection from blood.
