Skeletal muscles make up a large proportion of total body mass and act as important energy reserves that are needed to support critical organ function. Skeletal muscle mass loss (atrophy) is a major health problem worldwide. The proposal focuses on the roles of MYTHO in regulatingskeletal muscle autophgy, fiber size and function. It will also […]

In Canada, haskap berries are gaining increasing popularity due to their health benefits. The health-promoting effects of haskap berries are primarily attributed to the antioxidants in the fruits, especially anthocyanins, phenolic acids, and vitamin C. Since the quality of haskap berries largely depends on their antioxidant levels, it is of great importance for the berry […]

Le projet de recherche proposé sera effectué en collaboration avec Hydro-Québec et a pour objectif une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes à l’origine de l’instabilité des parois rocheuses par une analyse de quelques cas répertoriés dans le cadre du projet hydroélectrique de La Romaine. La méthodologie proposée comporte trois volets : i) Des analyses numériques par […]

ProStudioMasters is poised to become a key player in the emerging market of high quality, high bandwidth, uncompressed audio distributed over the internet. The interns will provide support by compiling information to be included in the container file along with the audio: metadata such as correct attributions (composers, performers), historical circumstances of the recording, analytic […]

Le conducteur est un élément critique d’une ligne de transport d’électricité. Il est sujet à la corrosion affectant significativement sa durée de vie. Hydro-Quebec surveille avec un vif interet l’etat de corrosion de ses 34 000 km de lignes haute tension et voudrait estimer dynamiquement l’état de cet actif majeur pour optimiser sa valeur d’un […]

Considering the continually growing energy demands and concerns about climate change due to anthropogenic CO2 generated from fossil fuels, there has been a global endeavor to transition towards low-carbon renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic technologies. Organic solar cells (OSCs) are ideal candidates for low-cost PV technologies thanks to the possibility of large-scale device fabrication by […]

GFlowNets are generative networks that consider the generation process as a flow network. They are theoretically better at handling the difficult cases of sampling different modes of a distribution and when different sampling trajectories can yield the same final state. In this work, we hope to explore various improvements to GFlowNets to make them suitable […]

Dream’s continuous landscape of consciousness in science, technology and culture opens up to the gamification of sleep and potential of avatars. Eponymous of the human shapes dream god Morpheus sent to dreamers in Greek mythology, “Morphai” is a trans-consciousness multi-realities game where the animated character’s body movement is controlled by the signals from the sleeping […]

Hyasynth Biologicals is a synthetic biology company based in Montreal. Hyasynth is focused on developing novel yeast-based production process for plant cannabinoids for the personal care market globally. The MITACS projects at Hyasynth will further the goal of developing and optimizing a yeast-fermentation based production process. The optimization of the enzymes and metabolic pathways in […]

This project aims to provide a framework to quantify the interactivity between human drivers in traffic, which could be used to design the decision-making policy for socially-compatible autonomous vehicles. Toward this end, we develop a conditional behavior prediction module based on Gaussian mixture models to jointly capture the dependency of one agent’s reactions on the […]

Proteins are sub-cellular molecules that provide important information of how well the body is functioning at a given time. Abnormal increase or decrease in the level of proteins can be indicative of the presence of a disease. Hence, developing tools to accurately measure protein levels in the human body is of utmost importance. Over the […]

The research project aims to co-create a roadmap for data and knowledge infrastructure that contributes to youth homeless prevention in Canada. A roadmap will be created through collaboration between researchers, policymakers, service providers, and people with lived experience of youth homelessness. Based on the stakeholders’ concerns, priorities and needs identified in the initial phase, the […]
