Dental caries can increase in severity if left untreated and result in deep carious lesions. Repairing these deep carious lesions routinely involves pulp capping, a procedure during which the tooth pulp can be accidentally exposed, allowing bacteria to enter the pulp and cause infection. Pulp capping failure rates are high, and retreatment may involve root […]

This project focuses on identifying novel enzyme catalysts to complete the biosynthesis of vinblastine, a potent anticancer alkaloid, by sourcing them from diverse plant species that produce dimeric indole alkaloids similar to vinblastine. Vinblastine, a member of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloid (MIA) family, is naturally derived from Catharanthus roseus. While its biosynthetic pathway, consisting of […]

Hemophilia is a rare blood coagulation disorder caused by a deficiency or deformity in one of 12 primary clotting factors. Hemophiliacs experience insufficient healing and prolonged bleeding either from trauma or unprompted bleeding. We are able to maintain a level of the deficient factors in a patient through direct and immediate infusion of a drug […]

The dental technology field evolves quickly, requiring constant updates to stay competitive. Labs must balance adopting new innovations while ensuring stability in their workflow. Thorough validation and testing must be done to meet clinical standards. Keeping up with social media marketing trends for a dental lab is challenging due to constantly changing algorithms, high content […]

An Emergency Management project that seeks to deliver Emergency training and exercise facilitation to 10 communities within Alberta and Saskatchewan. This project aims to increase communities’ ability to respond to a myriad of applicable hazards, thus increasing regional resiliency while lowering vulnerabilities.

The purpose of this project is to create evidence that describes the influence of urban trail development on population-level physical activity and active transportation. This is a growing field of importance as governments across all levels in Canada will be investing close to one billion dollars in urban infrastructure over the next ten years. There […]

Impact des perturbations multiples (feux et épidémies d’insectes) sur les forêts boréales (Québec) Le stage proposé s’inscrit dans un projet à l’échelle du Québec qui vise à combiner approche paléo-écologique, dendrologie (pour reconstituer les épidémies de TBE) et modélisation dynamique pour mieux comprendre et prédire les interactions entre climat-végétation et régimes de perturbations. Dans cette […]

This project aims to enhance the annotation of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in the Rfam database, a key resource for classifying non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Rfam groups ncRNAs into families based on evolutionary relationships, using initial manual curation followed by a computational pipeline developed by the Rfam team. SnoRNAs are ncRNAs that guide RNA modification and […]
