In developed countries cancer is the second most important cause of death. Since 1 in 4 Canadians will die of the disease and 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (PC), advanced chemotherapeutic treatments represent an important strategy to reduce cancer deaths without compromising a patients quality of life during and post-treatment. […]

Le projet partenarial vise la création de biocatalyseurs dits de 2e génération pour la revalorisation de biomasse oléagineuse usagée (huiles de fritures, graisses d’abattoirs). Les procédés actuels de transformation chimique de cette biomasse ne sont pas assez performants et Odyssée Biotech veut offrir une solution alternative et durable aux entreprises qui souhaitent produire des biolubrifiants. […]

Every day, people put their teeth at risk by eating foods that contain a lot of sugar. A lack of brushing teeth causes the build-up of bacteria. The bacteria use the sugars present in these foods to cause the weakening of teeth and if left untreated, can lead to holes and cavities in teeth. The […]

Ferma Farms 2024 Internship – Fermentation Optimization and Scale-Up The optimization and continuous harvesting of fungal biomass production

Les travailleurs des ports sont des travailleurs à risques d’être exposés à différents types de poussières et de particules, différents gaz et vapeurs ainsi que différents contaminants de type physique comme le bruit. Certaines maladies professionnelles sont d’ailleurs associées à ce milieu de travail. Les stratégies d’évaluation des expositions professionnelles sont des démarches d’hygiène du […]

This project enhances a device for producing lipid-based nanoparticles, crucial for gene therapy, by focusing on ‘Design for Manufacturing’ principles and surface property optimizations. These optimizations aim for optimal fluid flow and improved interactions with biological cargoes, ensuring efficiency and scalability in production. For Nanofacile Inc., this approach enables a quicker transition from prototype stages […]

This study focuses on the Pacific herring in the Strait of Georgia, which has seen a significant reduction in its range since the 1980s, without a clear cause. This contraction is concerning due to the herring’s importance to species like the Chinook salmon, which rely on herring as a food source. The research aims to […]

From year to year, an increasing number of people face a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders and general health problems, often caused by an imbalance in the gastrointestinal microbiota. That is why developing products to normalize the state of the microflora is a priority in creating preventive health products. It has been established that products […]

Zika virus is an important mosquito-transmitted human pathogen endemic to tropical and subtropical parts of the world and was responsible for the pandemic in South America in 2016. In pregnant women, the virus can cross the placenta and infect the brain of developing fetus leading to congenital abnormalities and life-long sequelae in newborn babies. Currently […]

Researchers from the UMoncton have the expertise and resources to validate our AI […]

La pollution liée aux déversements d’hydrocarbures pose de grands problèmes environnementaux et de santé humaine. Les méthodes conventionnelles utilisent des méthodes chimiques et/ou physiques (via excavation) pour nettoyer les sites impactés. Ces méthodes sont souvent très coûteuses et peuvent endommager durablement les écosystèmes incluant les milieux humides. Il est donc important de développer des méthodes […]
