Phagelux has developed a cocktail of bacteriophages (bacterial viruses) that treat infections with bacteria resistant to antibiotics. During the curse of treatment, bacteria may become resistant to bacteriophages included in the cocktail. This project aims at determing the bacteria surface markers on which bacteriophages can bind and start their therapeutic function. This will help Phagelux […]

In recent years, the interest given to disease biomarkers has boomed.

Avec la demande croissante d’énergie renouvelable et l’ouverture des marchés de l’énergie, on observe une augmentation de la sollicitation des équipements et un changement dans le mode opératoire des centrales. Il devient ainsi primordial pour les producteurs de caractériser la durée de vie des turbines et de cibler précisément les délais pour l’arrêt, la maintenance […]

« Vive le Canada français ! Et vive la France ! » Avec cette déclaration tonitruante du général de Gaulle, lancée depuis le balcon de l’Hôtel de Ville de Montréal en 1967, s’amorçait la plus longue période de froideur entre Ottawa et Paris.
