L’allongement de l’espérance de vie s’accompagne d’un vieillissement croissant de la population, accentuant la pression sur les systèmes de santé par la perte d’autonomie et la diminution des capacités fonctionnelles. Ces limitations sont aggravées par les maladies chroniques, notamment cardiovasculaires. Parmi elles, l’insuffisance cardiaque, caractérisée par une réduction de la capacité du cœur à pomper […]

Le projet de recherche proposé vise à étudier comment l’exercice physique et l’entraînement cognitif peuvent améliorer la santé du cerveau et la condition physique des personnes vivant avec une insuffisance cardiaque. La stagiaire participera à l’évaluation des capacités cardiorespiratoires, à la collecte et à l’analyse de données d’imagerie cérébrale non invasive (Doppler transcrânien et NIRS […]

Stage de recherche clinique au sein du centre EPIC rattaché à l’institut de Cardiologie de Montréal. Le stage sera effectué au sein du projet ReHEAT qui a pour objectif déterminer les effets cardiovasculaires de l’exposition au sauna post-exercice dans le cadre d’un programme de réadaptation cardiaque. Les missions effectuées seront le recrutement des participants, la […]

Direct lineage reprogramming (DLR) is the newest advance in the field of cellular reprogramming. It is the forced conversion of one mature cell type to another, without the need for a pluripotent intermediate, directly at the site of injury or disease. We have developed DLR technology to convert astrocytes into new oligodendrocyte lineage cells (iOLCs) […]

This project explores new ways to make medical imaging faster, more accessible, and more efficient in emergency and critical care settings. It aims to address the broader challenge of improving how clinicians can quickly obtain vital diagnostic information when every minute matters. The work combines insights from advanced imaging, computational modeling, and healthcare innovation to […]

Protvac aims to unlock the dark proteome against cancer by uncovering novel therapeutic targets. Studies show the non-coding DNA (dark genome) that has been thought to be irrelevant till now can translate into previously unannotated targets. In one proteogenomic study of human tumors, nearly 90% of tumor-specific antigens came from non-coding regions areas that standard […]

This project aims to convert seafood waste such as shells, bones, and seaweed trimmings into valuable nanoparticles using nanotechnology. Instead of discarding these materials, they will be transformed into eco-friendly products for use in agriculture, medicine, wastewater treatment, and renewable energy. The nanoparticles will help improve soil health, enhance crop nutrition, clean polluted water, and […]

Small packs of vitamin and mineral dense gummy candies which are formulated to cater for those on gender affirming hormone treatment (GAHT). The product formulation is to be designed around a biochemistry-focused literary review model which maps hormonal pathway connections to vitamin and mineral needs. Additional research will be done on gummy composition to maximize […]

This project focuses on improving early support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants in Australia who are at risk of neurodevelopmental disorders like cerebral palsy. The LEAP-CP program was co-designed with First Nations communities to offer culturally safe, family-centered care through early screening and peer-led interventions. The intern will help gather insights from trained […]

Up to 40% of stroke survivors can experience aphasia, a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to speak, understand, read, or write. However, one of the most effective ways to accurately assess aphasia, discourse analysis, remains underutilized. Discourse analysis is usually time-consuming and performed manually, leading to varying results between clinicians. It can also […]

Doctors often use biomarkers which are measurable signs in the body to better understand diseases, track their progress, and test whether treatments are working. Right now, there is no reliable biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that weakens muscles over time and makes it difficult to move, speak, eat, and breathe. Sadly, ALS […]

For this proposed project we aim to collaborate with the University of Toronto, Mitacs, and the partnered organization to further develop, refine, and bring to market our novel Contactless Infrared Sleep System (CIRSS). Our novel invention uses advanced specialized infrared imaging to measure key psychophysiological signals including heart rate, heart rate variability, stress, breathing rate, […]
