Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive loss of motor neurons, muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventual death. The disease affects males and females differently. A key feature of ALS is immune system dysfunction in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and outside, in peripheral blood. This study aims […]

Healthy pregnancies require major changes in blood flow to support the growing baby. Specifically, the mother’s uterine arteries must widen to allow more blood to reach the placenta, and the placenta must build a complex network of blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. In hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), these changes […]

Organoids are powerful cellular models that can advance our understanding of human biology and disease progression. They can be generated from human patient samples and be used to screen the best treatment course for patients, thereby allowing for a personalized therapeutic approach. However, a major challenge facing the organoid field is the lack of standard, […]

This study focuses on enhancing aviation safety by detecting and analyzing runway incursions—unauthorized entries of aircraft, vehicles, or personnel onto active runways—using high-resolution ADS-B data from Flightradar24 (FR24). Despite existing protocols, such incursions remain a significant threat to air traffic operations. The project aims to develop and validate algorithms capable of identifying critical events, such […]

Le projet vise à développer un portrait clair et actuel des organismes qui soutiennent le développement du secteur agroalimentaire au Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. Bien que la région soit riche en ressources, en expertises et en initiatives, il est parfois difficile pour les entreprises de savoir à quelle porte frapper pour obtenir du soutien. Plusieurs organismes travaillent fort […]

As multi-agent systems become more complex, improving how Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents work together is increasingly important. This research focuses on creating reusable design patterns and adaptive coordination strategies to boost collaboration and system performance. Blend360 is an AI service provider that builds advanced solutions for clients in sectors like finance, healthcare, and consumer […]

This project aims to make mass timber buildings, a sustainable alternative to concrete and steel, even more reliable. While mass timber is great for the environment, we don’t fully understand how it handles moisture over time, which can affect its durability. Our project will tackle this by using advanced sensors to monitor a new mass […]

Sturgeon Bank is a Wildlife Management Area within the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples, and west of the City of Richmond, British Columbia. Sturgeon Bank is primarily comprised of intertidal marsh, mud flats and open water, and provides several ecological and coastal risk mitigation benefits. However, monitoring indicates that Sturgeon Bank’s salt […]

Faulting might be affecting the flow of injected CO2 into the subsurface at the Aquistore Carbon Capture and Storage facility in southeastern Saskatchewan. 3D seismic data indicate that faulting affects the Deadwood Sandstone injection target approximately 100 m to the west of the injection well. The seismic data cannot however image all the structural complexity […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre comment les professionnels (p. ex., des conseillers pédagogiques ou des psychologues) qui accompagnent des équipes-écoles (p. ex., des directions d’école ou des personnes enseignantes) peuvent les aider à adopter de nouvelles façons de répondre aux besoins des élèves ayant un handicap ou des difficultés d’adaptation ou d’apprentissage […]

This research project will explore how certain genetic differences may increase the risk of developing mental health conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. These conditions often begin in the teenage years or early adulthood, but researchers believe that early brain development, before and after birth, plays a key role. The intern will use powerful computer […]
