This project will address the scalability problem that currently exists in algaculture. Scaling up algae production to the industrial level has been challenging. The reason’ being that productivity of photosynthetic algae is highly dependent on light and CO2 availability, which become less available as photobioreactor (algae tank) size increases. The solution is to use circulation […]

The onset of symptoms in Alzheimer’s Disease, Picks disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and cortical basal degeneration are connected to the formation of insoluble deposits of the tau protein in the brain, also known as neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The Treventis Corporation has developed new chemicals that are designed to prevent the formation of NFT, which may […]

People with T1D must replace insulin with injections or a pump. Although insulin is lifesaving, maintaining normal blood sugar levels is often a struggle for people with diabetes. […]

Ce projet de recherche est intimement lie à l’optimisation et au contrôle qualité d’une technologie verte associée au recyclage du polystyrène (PS). Durant ce procédé, le PS contaminé provenant du consommateur ou simplement de rejets industriels est mis au contact d’un solvant qui a pour but de le solubiliser, puis d’un autre pour le précipiter. […]

Decision-making frameworks for Health Technology Assessment (HTA) have become a major topic in developed nations in recent years. Indeed, the quest for more rational and transparent HTA decisions led many jurisdictions to investigate the use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) as an alternative decision-making framework. In Canada, the development of a MCDA framework for HTA […]
