Cancer represents a major public health problem, representing about 13% of deaths worldwide, accounting for more than seven million deaths a year. Surgical excision, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy encompass the forefront of antineoplastic therapy; however, it is well known the numerous adverse effects related to these therapeutic modalities. Some treatments have enough potential to help or […]

Municipalities in Quebec lack tools to effectively anticipate and manage the consequences of beaver dam outburst flooding. When beaver dams fail the resulting flooding can pose a major threat to public safety and public and private infrastructure. A research project lead by Dr. Jan Franssen in partership with OBV RPNS and its Municipal partners is […]

Le secteur des soins de santé personnalisés (SSP) soulève de nombreux défis en matière d’adhésion, d’intégration et de réglementation. Il est alors nécessaire de faire l’état des défis et des enjeux concernant les SSP dans le système de santé. Lorsqu’on parle d’intégration ou d’adhésion des SSP, on fait référence à leur utilisation par les professionnels […]

Les systèmes électoraux sont des éléments essentiels au fonctionnement des démocraties représentatives, dont la construction varie considérablement, avec des conséquences importantes pour la mise en œuvre de la démocratie. Le système électoral brésilien est reconnu dans le monde entier par son système de vote entièrement électronique, du vote des citoyens au calcul. Au Canada, par […]

The overall goal of this project is to develop more cost-effective methods for generating monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against cancer biomarkers. While the traditional protocols for mAb generation used by MédiMabs have been established decades ago, recent technological developments have opened the door to new, and potentially far more efficient, methodologies. In this project, we will […]

Therapeutic antibodies have been developed against a variety cancer cell surface proteins. These antibodies activate immune surveillance mechanisms that lead to destruction of cancer cells. Therapeutic antibody efficacy can be enhanced or might have unforeseen detrimental effects due to activation or inhibition of intracellular signaling pathways. Recent evidence suggests that the targeting of subtypes of […]

The progression of pain research has been limited because of the overreliance on nociceptive assessment tools. These nociceptive assessment tools only assess the sensory component of pain and neglect its emotional component. It has been suggested that behavioural tools, such as the grimace scales, can assess the emotional component of pain. The use of various […]

Ce projet de recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre de ma cotutelle de thèse. Intitulée «Disparaître autrement. La disparition comme geste, et son rapport aux formes de vie dans la littérature et les arts actuels», ma thèse s’intéresse à un corpus tant littéraire qu’artistique, et s’appuie sur un édifice théorique principalement philosophique. Je cherche à analyser […]

Drawing upon emerging practices in Digital Humanities, this research project aims to focus on visual models for the analysis of large corpora in Media Studies. Visual models differ from other types of data-based models in the way they make visible a set of relationships through a process of knowledge design (Schnapp 2014), rather than offering […]
