Les animaux d’une même population mangent-ils tous la même chose? Si ce n’est pas le cas, pourquoi montrent-ils des régimes alimentaires différents? Les différences de personnalité, ou différences comportementales individuelles, qui persistent dans le temps et se maintiennent entre les situations, pourraient expliquer ces différences alimentaires. Par exemple, un individu qui explore généralement plus lentement […]

Recreational fishing is seeing increasing numbers of fish caught and released, either because individual fishers choose not to harvest for personal or conservation reasons, or because fishing regulations allow few numbers or sizes of fish to be harvested. However, if released fish become less catchable for future fishers, this may lead to decreasing catch rate, […]

This project will investigate how mixtures of select cannabinoids affect different types of human and animal cell lines. As the use of cannabinoid-based products continues to rise in both Canada and Germany, there is a growing need to understand potential health impacts, especially when multiple cannabinoids are present together. By studying mixture toxicity rather than […]

Bacterial infections continue to cause a large number of deaths around the world, and the problem is getting worse as many bacteria become resistant to the antibiotics we rely on. New medications are urgently needed to successfully treat these infections. This project aims to address this need by discovering how certain bacteria are able to […]

Quantitative LUS (Q-LUS) is a safe, real-time imaging tool that exploits the frequency dependency of imaging artifacts to extract biomarkers that characterize the lung disease. However, the direct relationship between Q-LUS biomarkers and the severity of lung injury remains insufficiently characterized. Without this grounding, Q-LUS metrics remain difficult to interpret and cannot be linked to […]

This project aims to develop and evaluate layer-by-layer nanofiltration (LbL-NF) membranes for the recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from acidic solutions of secondary waste. The research will involve fabricating charged membrane layers on commercially available ultrafiltration supports and testing their ability to concentrate solutions of REEs while maintaining high permeability under acidic conditions. Building […]

My project will develop and pilot a practical framework to evaluate one clinical AI tool across three areas at the same time: how well it works, whether it works equally well for different patient groups, and what its environmental impact is. I will use the University of Melbourne’s Validitron simulation facility to test the tool […]

Neurostimulation is a medical and scientific technique that uses small electrical signals to communicate with the brain, spinal cord or nerves. It can help researchers understand how the nervous system controls movement, and it is already used in treatments for conditions like paralysis or Parkinson’s disease. However, one major challenge remains: to work well, stimulation […]

This project will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital marketplace data can be used to improve sales and marketing decisions for Kondor Pharma’s natural health products on platforms like Amazon. Instead of running marketing activities, the project will analyze AI tools, keyword data, product listings, pricing patterns, and customer behavior to understand what factors […]

This project consists of testing new targeted therapies for glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain cancer with very limited treatment options. The research focuses on antibody–drug conjugates that specifically bind to VEGFR-1, a protein found at high levels on glioblastoma cells and in the tumor environment. Once bound, these antibodies deliver potent cancer-killing drugs directly to […]

Power-lines and electric appliances are the main sources of daily human exposure to power-frequency magnetic fields (MF, 60 Hz in North America). In order to protect the public and workers from potential adverse effects, international agencies publish MF exposure guidelines based on the “best estimate” available regarding the levels producing an acute biological effects in […]
