Analyzing lactate metabolism in cell culture with paper chips

Le but du projet est de concevoir un dispositif sur papier pour la détection du lactate dans les cellules en culture. Le lactate est un sous-produit du métabolisme et un marqueur du caractère invasif du cancer. En effet, les tumeurs deviennent hypoxiques durant leur croissance, ce qui altère le métabolisme. La consommation de glucose dans […]

Caractérisation d’enduit à base de fritte de verre pour l’extrusion du titane

La fabrication de pale de compresseur en titane pour moteur d’avion se déroule avec le procédé d’extrusion, ce procédé requiert de chauffer d’abord les pièces dans un four à haute température et ensuite les presser avec une presse hydraulique dans une matrice (orifice préformé) qui lui donnera sa forme finale. En passant la pièce dans […]

Drug Delivery Vehicle for Gene Silencing in the Posterior Segment of the Eye

Retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cause vision blur and distortion, eventually leading to vision loss. AMD is the leading cause of blindness in patients over 60, affecting an estimated 200 million people worldwide. Current treatments require patients to receive monthly injections into the back of the eye, risking adverse effects and placing […]

Advanced Control and Data Analysis in Support of Unmanned Vehicle Operators

Mobile robots equipped with chemical, radiological and explosive detectors are deployed during events where CBRNE materials have been dispersed; sending robots provides key reconnaissance data while reducing personnel exposure. Operators rely on camera views and on-board detectors to drive the robots using joysticks, and they have to control every aspect of the robot operation. Live […]

Development of normal physiological behaviour classification using multi-modal biomarker dataset towards machine learning-driven medical devices.

This project aims to develop a large, labelled dataset of normal canine behaviour for use in developing machine learning algorithms to detect abnormal animal physiological behaviour. These machine learning algorithms will enable veterinarians to collect high-quality data of their patients in their natural environments. This innovative solution has the potential to improve the quality of […]

Thermodynamic modelling of binary and ternary deep eutectic solvents

Green solvents are expected to present certain features: availability, non-toxicity, recyclability, biodegradability, non-flammability and low cost. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been studied for the last two decades as a greener alternative to organic solvents since they have cheaper production, are less toxic and are commonly biodegradable. Although phase diagrams of several DESs have been […]
