Smart devices can allow active individuals to monitor their training workload in order to reduce injuries and improve performance. However, many devices are geared towards a single activity, which limits their impact. Kinetyx recently developed an insole with multiple sensors that can be worn within a shoe while performing many activities. Using this insole, we […]

With increasingly urban populations worldwide and a growing need to ensure ecosystem service provision, managers must plan not only for the urban woodlands we have today, but also for what they might become. This project will develop indicators to detect changes urban woodland succession and its repercussions on future biodiversity. Using existing environmental monitoring data […]

The proposed project aims to assess the impact of Diclofenac on freshwater fauna. Current research work in this area will be beneficial to characterize potential risks from long term low-level exposure to pharmaceuticals like Diclofenac, particularly for sensitive aquatic organisms and hence, this project will attempt to evolve various measures for sustaining and safeguarding the […]

L’un des organites les plus importants dans les cellules de tous les organismes eucaryotes est le noyau, qui contient l’ADN qui est stocké dans le nucléoplasme. Ce nucléoplasme est entouré d’un système à double membrane appelé enveloppe nucléaire (EN). Ce EN contient des pores aqueux, dans lesquels sont insérés les complexes de pores nucléaires (CPNs). […]

L’objectif c’est de décrire les effets qu’a la gelée royale sur le processus de maturation artificiel des ovocytes au niveau moléculaire. L’hypothèse c’est que la gelée royale a des compounds qui agissent similairement à l’hormone FSH. Ce projet va explorer l’utilisation de la gelée royale dans le milieu de culture utilisé en IVM, et résultera […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans la programmation d’une action de recherche et développement actuellement en cours au Centre de Recherche en Biotechnologie Marine (CRBM) avec l’appui financier et au bénéfice de la Société Sani-Marc inc. Il consiste à développer des supports appropriés pour l’immobilisation d’enzymes d’intérêt pour cette société.

Yogourt demand has increased significantly over the past decade, accompanied by a fast-paced diversification in types of product, requiring specialized processes. The challenge faced by Lactalis Canada is to continually adapt the fermentation process to obtain consistent and optimum quality, shelf-life and sensory profile using the cooperation of living microorganisms as starters in milk which […]

More than half of Canadian households have companion animals such as dog or cat. However, cancer has become the leading cause of death in dogs. Currently, available treatments have limitations and compromise the quality of life of dogs. Adored Beast Apothecary wishes to develop unique natural health products to prevent and treat cancers of dogs. […]

Increased physical activity has been shown to be beneficial for people who experience infertility and obesity. However, limited research exists on exercise programs that help women improve their ability to conceive. Using the principles of exercise science, our research team will develop an exercise program for women experiencing infertility and obesity. Due to COVID-19, there […]

The determination of HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) is of crucial importance for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The wide variability of the HLA system has some progressive advantages, but can make the search for compatible donors more complex for specific populations. While populations in the regions of Quebec were characterized several years ago for the HLA […]

Resource extraction has caused extensive landscape change that impacts wildlife. This is especially true in Alberta, Canada, where forestry, oil and gas and similar industries stretch across the province. While these industries are known to negatively affect some wildlife species, other species benefit from the features that these industries introduce, such as roads. In consequence, […]

Wild bees are vital to our parks, gardens, greenspaces and ecosystem services, but we know surprisingly little about their habitat requirements and dietary breadth. In this proposal, we will characterize wild bee nutrition including their health and microbiomes across Canada. The postdoc will learn skills in bioinformatics, science writing and science communication. The W. Garfield […]
