Plant-based foods, including beverages, cheese, and yogurts, have gained great attention from consumers due to their sustainability and health benefits. Earth’s Own devotes significant efforts to producing healthy plant-based beverages from sources like oats and almonds. In their next quest to expand their range of plant-based offerings, hempseed and legumes are selected for its richness […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven decision making are booming in all sectors, and pig production makes no exception. In this fast-evolving landscape there is a need to assess which areas would benefit the most from AI and have an impact on productivity and sustainability of the Canadian swine industry. There is also a need to […]

The three-dimensional food printing (3DFP) offers the food industry and consumers customizable food preparation and manufacturing possibilities. Several food products including plant proteins have been utilized in 3DFP applications. However, the printability of plant proteins needs to be enhanced to develop novel food structures with improved stability. Our previous research showed that atmospheric cold plasma […]

Chemotherapy uses drugs to treat cancer, but often causes significant side effects as the drug can spread throughout the body and affect healthy tissues as well. These side effects can be reduced by capturing drugs into nanoparticles such as liposomes that can enter tumors directly, but are too large to accumulate in healthy tissues. However, […]

Breast cancer treatment often involves surgery, which can lead to post-operative discomfort and challenges in physical mobility. Previous research has identified the potential impact of post-surgical undergarments on the quality of life and recovery process. As part of our commitment to enhancing post-operative care, the research team have developed a specialized surgical bra aimed at […]

In dairy cows, future generations are created by embryo transfer techniques, which entail a superovulation treatment followed by fertilization in the field or in the laboratory. Due to enormous pressure exerted by breeders, cows are now superovulated very young, even before puberty and thereafter are superovulated routinely. Despite improvements in this technique, there is still […]

The overall objective of this project is to reduce ergonomic risk and the potential for workplace injury across the entire production facility. Repetition, force and posture are factors that can lead to fatigue and injury among workers in a manufacturing setting. By developing an ergonomic demands and risk assessment tool based on current research, the […]

Ce projet sera mené à Montréal par M. Léo Millot lors de son stage de Master de l’Université Aix-Marseille. M. Millot intégrera l’équipe dirigée par Vincent Archambault à l’Institut de Recherche en Immunologie et en Cancérologie de l’Université de Montréal. Ce laboratoire se spécialise dans les mécanismes qui contrôlent la division cellulaire. Le projet visera […]

Le projet de recherche vise à améliorer la façon dont les documents essentiels pour la mise sur le marché des produits sous marque privée sont partagés avec les partenaires. La stagiaire sera chargée de rassembler, vérifier et rédiger des documents (comme les certificats de conformité et d’analyse) tout en collaborant avec différentes équipes pour garantir […]

Friedreich is an hereditary disease, which in due to a mutation of the frataxin gene. This mutation leads to a reduced production of the frataxin protein. This leads to oxidative stress and death of the cells. The death of the neurons and cardiomyocytes are responsible for progressive severe neurological and cardiac symptoms. The aim of […]

Overcoming an injury as an athlete is not easy and usually requires the help of professionals to guide the rehabilitation process. Athletic therapists, doctors and other health professionals in sports medicine are interested in better ways to help players get back to the game safely. Instead of following set rehabilitation protocols, we are now focusing […]

Fusarium avenaceum causes Fusarium Head Blight, a devastating disease affecting cereal crops, and in Root Rot in pulses; diseases that significantly impact Canadian and European farmers. Different strains of F. avenaceum can harbor strain-specific biosynthetic gene clusters that produce mycotoxins which give rise to particularly virulent strains. In this context, the intent of this Globalink […]
