The project consists of developing a device for degrading a harmful toxin produced during algal bloom in water supply. The cyanotoxin mycrocystin-LR is one of the major toxins produced by certain cyanobacteria that are present in large quantities in microalgal or cyanobacterial blooms. The benefits of this project for Naturia Technologies will be important since […]

Le projet vise à développer un nouveau vecteur de transport pour cibler et éliminer les cellules cancéreuses de manière précise et efficace. Notre approche consiste à concevoir et fabriquer un peptide catalyseur-médicament doté de propriétés radiothérapeutiques ou chimiothérapeutiques. Les cellules cancéreuses ont développé différents mécanismes de résistance afin diminuer l’accumulation intracellulaire des médicaments dont la […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Le gouvernement du Québec et les entreprises s’orientent vers un aménagement forestier durable de nos écosystèmes forestiers afin d’en conserver la biodiversité et une croissance optimale. Tel aménagement repose sur les connaissances relatives à l’évolution des paysages forestiers à court et à long terme. L’étude des paysages naturels et de leur variabilité naturelle est cependant […]

The study’s primary goal is to understand the impact of pipeline construction on the behaviour of migratory birds. It will focus on assessing how the proximity to different construction activities, different habitats, environmental conditions and nature of construction work affect nest attendance, alertness and flushing behaviour of the migrants. Anthropogenic activities can adversely affect the […]

This project is going to evaluate an experimental media for improved detection of pathogenic E. coli, the same type of E. coli that led to the recent outbreak in Calgary daycares that affected approximately 320 children. We will be rigorously testing the new media by evaluating the abundant E. coli present in the feces of […]

Le Musée de la Civilisation de Québec, dans le cadre d’une exposition permanente sur l’histoire du Québec, introduit des bornes interactives. En répondant aux questions sur les bornes, les visiteurs recevront une carte postale numérique unique, modelée par leurs réponses. Cette activité offre ainsi une expérience véritablement personnalisée. Inspirée d’une fresque de l’exposition, cette carte […]

The overall goal of this project is to remove off-flavors from pea plant proteins using ozone. Considering the dietary, animal welfare, and environmental impacts of animal proteins, there is growing awareness and interest in alternative protein sources. Plant protein is one major alternative protein source whose utilization could help address these sustainability issues. However, plant […]

This project seeks to fully develop Copsys Intelligent Digital Skin (CIDS) technology, elevating it from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to market readiness. CIDS, a novel paint-based digital technology, aims to revolutionize corrosion and asset integrity management across various industries. It integrates impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) within a coating, marking a significant innovation in […]

The current treatment of cervical dystonia (Torticollis) uses Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an approved treatment by Health Canada and FDA. Botox® injections help to correct abnormal movements of the neck as well as any severe discomfort and pain related to the movement disorder. At present clinical limitations still exist for Movement Disorder Neurologists as it is […]
