The major aim of this research project is to accelerate the development of the SORT1+ oncology platform. This novel platform is based on a new proprietary peptide targeting Sortilin, a key scavenging receptor. Sortilin has been reported to play a role in cell survival and in the progression of human cancers. For instance, Sortilin expression […]

Agronomy interns would be important members of our growing agronomy AI team. Precision AI now needs more agronomy expertise to achieve our growth objectives. The interns will help us accelerate our artificial intelligence model development by applying their expertise to more quickly identify crop and weed plants in the images we have collected. They will […]

It is evident that children require support for executive function and emergent literacy development to optimize their personal well-being, school, learning and life success. This project focuses on how to best support executive function [EF] and early emergent literacy [EL] acquisition for our children by providing a parent and early childcare community with strategies on […]

The ability to perceive the motion of approaching person and to make appropriate adjustments to avoid collisions is an essential component of safe locomotion through the environment. The proposed project will investigate young and older adults’ collision avoidance behaviours with an approaching young adult in order to understand the visual information used to accomplish the […]

The goal of the research is to develop and optimize in-planta assays for evaluating low-risk disease suppression compounds/formulations produced by Suncor and Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) techniques. The screening projects will be conducted in controlled environment growth facilities, with the goal of eventually moving the trials into a greenhouse environment. Current agriculturally important plant pathogens that […]

Endogenous opioid peptides and prescription opioid drugs modulate pain, anxiety and stress by activating four classical opioid receptors (MOR, DOR, KOR and NOP). The laboratory of Immuno-Pharmacology and Interactomics has recently identified a new broad-spectrum opioid receptor: ACKR3/CXCR7, hitherto known as atypical scavenger receptor for chemokines. In contrast to classical opioid receptors, ACKR3 is a […]

La stagiaire développera des méthodes d’analyses de protéines liées à l’inflammation pour la détection de la réponse immunitaire suivant une infection à la COVID. Elle procédera à l’analyse d’échantillon, la production de rapports et possiblement à la rédaction d’article. Elle utilisera des techniques de résonance des plasmons de surface.

We propose to characterize idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) sleep microarchitecture and identify clinically-relevant IH subtypes based on their microarchitecture through advanced EEG signal analyses . We will analyze 601 participants including 135 IH patients, 94 healthy controls, 223 subjects with narcolepsy and 149 patients with suspected IH but who don’t reach objective sleepiness criteria. Sleep microarchitecture […]

Flotation-REST has gained in popularity in recent years as athletes seek the best tools to recover, improve performance and decrease injury risk. While the relaxation response brought on by flotation-REST has been demonstrated, few studies have investigated the benefits on physical fitness and concussion recovery. Though this research has shown promising results on physical fitness […]

The utilization of meat by-products (e.g., heart, liver, kidney, intestines, and tongue) is necessary due to their adverse effects on environment. Livestock by-products represent about 52% of the cattle live weight. Since greater amounts of animals live weight is rendered unfavorable for regular consumption, it becomes important to develop technologies for the effective utilization of […]

Par l’analyse des pratiques en gynécologie obstétrique chez les médecins de famille québecois qui ont la possibilité du suivi de grossesse et de l’accouchement contrairement aux médecins généralistes français, je cherche à analyser les deux pratiques de soins en santé de la femme dans ces systèmes de santé différents. Le but étant de comparer afin […]

North American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) is a medicinal crop that was used by indigenous people in North America to treat aliments from headache to indigestion. Today, most of the North American ginseng is produced in shaded gardens in southwestern Ontario, Canada. It is a prized health supplement in traditional Asian medicine, making this an […]
