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 […]

Le projet MicroGeoNx vise l’utilisation des méthodes génomiques pour améliorer la caractérisation et le monitoring des réservoirs géologiques souterrains. Les réservoirs de stockage souterrain sont essentiels aux activités de gestion de réseau de distribution et permettent entre autres d’améliorer la sécurité énergétique des régions où ils sont exploités. Intragaz SEC opère les deux réservoirs de […]

Étudier les systèmes de fermeture des contenants utilisés pour le réemballage afin de les comparer avec ceux des fabricants.

Woody plant encroachment is a significant problem for many Western Canadian ranchers. Prescribed fire is often promoted as a tool to manage woody plants, but has not been extensively tested in western Canada. This project will test and monitor the efficacy of prescribed fire on a working cattle ranch. A PDF will plan a prescribed […]

Brain disorders affect 10% of Canadians, however few treatment options exist for these devastating diseases. We have extensive understanding of their causes, but translation to treatment has been difficult. For example, many natural proteins have been identified to hold significant therapeutic promise, but getting these proteins to the brain has been a longstanding challenge. Our […]

The aim of the project is to develop molecules capable of treating cancer. Currently, chemotherapeutics used in the clinic kill cancer as well as healthy cells; this broad mechanism of action results in high toxicity to the patient. In contrast, our approach is to generate a targeted therapeutic that will work against STAT5, a specific […]

This project is to hire an intern who will develop a volleyball coaching application that will use AI motion tracking and classification algorithms to optimize movement technique. The mobile application will be built to provide the expertise of volleyball and biomechanics to specifically address flaws with movement technique, offering analyses that will not only rate […]

Les médicaments biologiques sont de plus en plus prescrits et coutent cher aux régimes d’assurances publics étant donné leur prix relativement élevé. Quand un agent biologique arrive à terme de son brevet, les compétiteurs peuvent sortir des produits d’efficacité et d’innocuité semblable. Ces produits sont appelés biosimilaire. À fin de réduire les coûts relatifs aux […]

Ce projet a pour but d’améliorer le processus de suivi des études de stabilité des produits pharmaceutiques, afin de mettre à la disposition des patients des médicaments de haute qualité, mais également d’assurer la durabilité et la performance des services de soutient offert par Sandoz aux différentes parties prenantes.

Species are delimited by barriers to reproduction, which can be caused by genetic incompatibilities that arise when isolated populations become two distinct species. Nevertheless, hybridization can occur when species are genetically similar enough to have few barriers to reproduction. If the hybrid offspring is viable and fertile, it can mate with either of the parental […]

Zamancwane Mahlanza is a PhD student at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa under Professor Oluwafemi Adebo’s main supervision. Zamancwane’s research focuses on the development of conventional nutritious instant and 3D food products from traditional and novel processed foods (finger millet, edible insects and wild edible plants).

Les tissus (peau, gencive, etc.) humains sont très importants assurant la protection du corps contre de multiples agents exogènes (produit chimique, microbes, pollution, etc.). Malheureusement, ces tissus sont fragiles et peuvent être la cible de multiples pathologies causant des réactions inflammatoires. Les principales maladies des tissus (peau et muqueuse buccale) sont fréquemment associées à une […]
