Le projet consiste à synthétiser un nouveau système d’encapsulation d’ARN messager. L’objectif est donc de développer un matériau polymère plus stable et moins coûteux pour son utilisation dans des applications comme les vaccins à ARN messager. Grâce à ce nouveau système nous espérerons rendre les traitements plus efficace lors de leur insertion dans le corps […]

Le projet à pour but d’obtenir une surface avec des propriétés qui peuvent changer grâce à une stimulation. Dans notre cas une stimulation à une longueur d’onde précise. Dans un premier temps je dois synthétiser un polymère qui va permettre de changer la nature de la surface de silice. Ce processus ce fait en plusieurs […]

The standard approach to quantifying sleep physiology, polysomnography, requires an overnight stay in the laboratory, is poorly tolerated by many people (especially the elderly or those with medical co-morbidities) and is both labour intensive and costly. In response to this limitation, wearable devices have gained support as tools for self-administered measurement of some aspects of […]

A great amount of research has noted the existence of a gap between winners and losers in relation to satisfaction with democracy (SWD). As stated by Craig et al. (2006, 579), “winners and losers do not always respond with equal enthusiasm either to the election outcome, or to the institutions and processes through which that […]

Adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa are the population group with the highest level of unmet sexual and reproductive health needs worldwide. Early onset of sexual activity is associated with a double burden of HIV infection and pregnancy. However, so far both problems have been analyzed as independent events. My objective is to examine fertility patterns […]

By combining the information contained in the visual, audio and text content of videos, it is possible to extract complex information about their content. It’s then possible to analyse a query from a search engine to find the video segments that best matches this query. During this project, the intern will be using state-of-the-art deep […]

Korbit Technologies Inc. is developing an e-learning platform to teach artificial intelligence (AI), data science and coding skills. The student interacts with a virtual, personalized AI tutor, through a web-based chat interface. The main objective of this research project is to investigate how a personalized, data-driven learning experience based on the student’s profile, needs, and […]

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a genetic neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive, motor, and psychiatric disturbance ending in death 15 to 20 years after the onset of the first symptoms. The genetic predictability of HD makes it potentially the most tractable of the neurodegenerative diseases for early intervention, with the optimum time for the introduction of […]

In the last few years, a high increase in the interest of traders and investors towards financial instruments directly led to an important augmentation of the information received daily by exchanges. Exchange regulators, who constantly monitor markets to unveil potential infractions, traditionally perform their investigation manually and the notable growth in market activity represents an […]

The research project is focused on the study of TERRA (Telomeric Repeat containing RNA) dynamics in cancer cells to understand the relationship between cancer and telomere. TERRA long noncoding RNAs have been proposed to play important roles in telomere biology. However, the dynamics of TERRA molecules are yet to be elucidated. Indeed, in human cells, […]

The research project will look at modes and types of localized knowledge on the span of diseases under the umbrella of dementia. The project will try to detect and compare modes of knowledge transition, dispersion, and production about dementia prevention and early detection within and across two different cultural and social settings: the Canadian and […]

Over the last decade, chemical biology approaches have proven increasingly successful, delivering new solutions to problems that were previously unresponsive to traditional chemical and biochemical techniques. In the fields of proteomics and genomics, new diagnostics and therapeutic strategies are revolutionizing healthcare. However, in the field of glycomics, tractable strategies to study glycan (carbohydrate)-mediated processes remain […]
