Inspirée par l’adoption récente d’un plan de conservation par la municipalité voisine de St-Étienne-de-Bolton, Bolton-Ouest souhaite innover en matière de gouvernance environnementale en concevant et en mettant en œuvre son propre plan de conservation des milieux naturels. Ce projet vise donc à relever un défi stratégique : intégrer la conservation de la biodiversité dans les […]

HIV-1 persists in people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) because the virus can hide in long-lived immune cells, forming a latent reservoir. These hidden viruses can reactivate if treatment stops, making HIV difficult to cure. Efforts to reverse latency aim to “wake up” these silent viruses so the immune system or drugs can eliminate them, but […]

Many reports have established a correlation between obesity and diabetes plus cardiovascular complications with the amount of a hormone in the body called adiponectin. Interestingly, the amount of adiponectin circulating in the blood decreases in obese and diabetic individuals. The precise reasons why changes in adiponectin cause diabetes and its complications remain to be determined. […]

This project will use health data from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) to identify neighborhoods where prostate cancer deaths are higher than expected and to examine whether men in these areas are less likely to receive PSA screening. By combining mapping tools and statistical analysis, the project will help pinpoint communities that may […]

Pendant plusieurs décennies, l’entretien des cours d’eau reposait sur des méthodes traditionnelles qui visaient surtout à stabiliser ou à rectifier les chenaux, souvent au détriment des processus naturels et des fonctions écologiques. À l’international, des approches de restauration fondées sur l’hydrogéomorphologie se sont développées, mais elles demeurent encore peu appliquées au Québec, où l’expertise dans […]

This project supports the commercialization of ComfiDam, a breathable dental dam designed to improve patient comfort while maintaining clinical isolation. The project focuses on defining a launch-ready product, business model, and go-to-market strategy for pilot deployment and scale.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a key anti-rejection drug for most children who receive a kidney transplant, yet many have large swings in MPA blood levels during the first 6 months after surgery—even with consistent dosing. This variability can contribute to serious side effects such as low white blood cell counts (higher infection risk) and may […]

Path Forward Neurotech is commercializing AR-based cognitive-motor training for seniors in residential care. This Lab2Market Launch project executes B2B sales to long-term care facilities, validating pricing models and building repeatable sales infrastructure from 60+ validated customer discovery interviews.

This pharmacognosy (medicines from plant origins) project will examine the potential of Bupleurum falcatum leaf extracts for anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis outcomes in cell culture systems. Among its constituents, chlorogenic acid and rutin (both polyphenol compounds) have been reported to regulate bone osteoclast and cartilage cell function, and both are among the most abundant compounds extracted […]

Haskap fruit is becoming increasingly popular in Canada and Europe. The berries are considered as a rich source of health-promoting compounds. The project aims to identify haskap cultivars using existing and developing new molecular markers. This type of markers is based on DNA differences between haskap varieties. Firstly, broad research on the existing literature will […]

In Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) high sugar levels create harmful chemicals called dicarbonyls. These chemicals attach to proteins in a process called glycation and can alter how those proteins work. We study a protein called the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex or PDC. This protein moves into the nucleus of the cell and helps make acetyl CoA, […]
