Functional investigation of the dynamics of TERRA and hTR in cancer cells

The research project is focused on the relationship between cancer and telomeres. It is intended to be a functional investigation of the dynamics of TERRA, a long non coding RNA transcribed at telomeres, and hTR, the telomerase RNA subunit, in human cancer cells. TERRA is an important molecule implicated in telomere maintenance and genome stability. […]

Biparental haploid cells to generate genomically designed offspring

In natural selection, differential fitness relies on the chromosomal shuffling during meiosis that enables the production of haploid gametes that are genetically different. However, meiotic-induced genetic variability can be an economic burden to the animal breeding industry since offspring often do not inherit the most desirable genes from their parents. Although genomic markers are currently […]

The EU in contemporary global environmental governance: a complementary outside-in and inside-out approach

The research conducted in Montreal focuses on studying the role of the European Union (EU) in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) through an innovative outside-in mapping. Three dimensions of the EU’s role are examined: its environmental ambition, leadership and diplomatic activity. The project is innovative because of a twofold reason. First, counterbalancing the literature’s […]

Quête d’identité juive par les archives : quand il ne reste que la généalogie. Un cas concret de recherche matérielle et virtuelle

La généalogie procède d’une recherche de parenté, de filiation qui nous rattache à un contexte de société. Les archives, autrefois secrètes et dévolues aux experts (historiens et chercheurs), connaissent un regain d’intérêt informationnel mais aussi émotionnel tant au niveau concret qu’un niveau virtuel. La généalogie juive est en marge du mouvement car elle témoigne souvent […]

Encapsulation efficiency and viability of phage-coated implants for the prevention and treatment of periprosthetic joint infections in high risk patients

The widespread use of antimicrobial compounds in recent years has led to a pronounced increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria. These resistant organisms require increased doses of strong antibiotics for prolonged periods for effective treatment. This is such a significant problem that the world health organization has put in place a global action plan […]
