Les comportements observés dans les jeux vidéo multi-joueurs s’approchent de plus en plus à ceux des animaux dans leur écosystème. Ainsi, l’ensemble des joueurs d’un jeu […]

The Intern will develop a tablet based version of a test that identifies French-speaking children at school entry who are at risk for problems learning to read and write. The project will provide an opportunity for a doctoral candidate with a dual academic background in computer science and linguistics to gain skills and experience in […]

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a blood cancer with very poor prognosis, especially for patients older than 60 years of age. This is in part because of the severe toxicity of medicines available. Less harmful medicines are needed to better treat older patients. Therapure Biopharma Inc. has chemically linked the standard toxic chemotherapy medicine called […]

Disturbed sleep is a common feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ranking third in frequency behind shortness of breath and fatigue. Actigraphy is a non-invasive technique for monitoring sleep at patient’s own home and is an attractive alternative to expensive laboratory based tests like polysomnography. Unfortunately, no studies have tested the accuracy of actigraphs […]

Manufacturing of consistently high quality products is the commitment of the pharmaceutical industry. To achieve this, new products must be thoroughly tested and the results meet government-approved product specifications. Improving existing and adopting improved analytical technologies for product testing ensure the production of safe and effective products. This is particularly critical for the manufacturing of […]

Cependant, il est souvent difficile de quantifier l’impact du médicament sur ces aspects. Par conséquent, ces aspects ne sont souvent pas pris […]

Le développement de la pharmacogénomique a permis notamment l’identification de biomarqueurs permettant de mieux cibler les patients pouvant bénéficier de certains traitements ou d’estimer le risque d’être éventuellement atteint d’une certaine maladie. Les tests pharmacogénomiques découlant de la découverte de ces biomarqueurs devront être évalués pour leur utilité clinique, mais aussi pour leur impact économique. […]
