Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre, d’une part, les besoins en compétences, savoirs et connaissances pour réaliser des études d’impacts et pour les réviser, et, d’autre part, l’offre de formation existante au Québec dans le domaine de l’évaluation environnementale. La mission de l’organisation partenaire (AQÉI) est d’outiller le mieux possible ses membres dans […]

Encycle Therapeutics is a Toronto-based company that develops new therapeutics for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Our competitive edge derives from a platform technology that allows for the more efficient synthesis of macrocycle- (ringlike peptides) based therapeutics. This platform involves a proprietary reagent called aziridine aldehyde. This new technique has demonstrated significant potential for the […]

Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) is an important input variable for hydrological models, however, accurately estimating it can be costly. Several simplified models exist for estimating PET, however, their accuracy depends on the quality of input data, assumptions, and land type. For the various oil sands reclamation and monitoring projects, a wide range of estimations currently exist. […]

The research project will focus on the development of assisted reproductive technologies for Canadian snakes at risk of extinction. Assisted reproductive research include studies focused on increasing the fecundity or reproductive success of a species; many technologies such as artificial insemination are well developed for mammals. In contrast, studies on augmenting snake reproductive success are […]

The social contract for science and innovation is under strain. With the decline of trust, there are worrying signs of a public unsure about the value and authority of science in their everyday lives, and a growing disconnect between what the public increasingly sees as unapproachable, elitist institutions and what scientists see as a lack […]

The goal of this project is to fabricate biocompatible, magnetic inks for 3D printing of structures that offer controlled motion by weak magnetic fields for various medical benefits such as increased imaging contrast, magnetic guidance and positioning of the structures. This has potential applications in regenerative medicine, such as smart implants, 3D printing of tissue […]

This research project will advance the development of a possible treatment for Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of childhood epilepsy caused by a genetic mutation. In Dravet syndrome, an important protein responsible for sending signals along the nerve fibers of the brain does not function, which results in overactivity and triggers debilitating and recurring seizures. […]

Les jeunes placés en centres de réadaptation ont pour la plupart vécu différentes formes de maltraitance – par exemple la négligence ou l’abus physique – ce qui nécessite un placement hors de leur milieu familial pour quelques mois, voire plusieurs années. Ces expériences traumatiques les placent à risque de développer des problèmes psychologiques, psychiatriques, scolaires, […]

Back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) are wearable devices designed to assist and enable human motion for workers in various industries ranging from manufacturing to construction. As with workers in other industries, the opportunity provided by BSEs for construction workers is to reduce injury rates for the benefit of worker health and productivity. Potential risks also exist, including […]

This project aims to evaluate the effect of mowing on the insect community living in meadow plant stems. Mowing is a necessary practice in meadow restoration in cities due to the need to control invasive plant species. However, past studies have shown that mowing can also contribute to increased mortality rates in a wide variety […]

The use of virtual reality (VR) and realistic real-time graphics has become a critical component in various industries, including aviation. However, the benefits and necessity of full-motion simulators in training remain unclear, especially when considering the fundamental differences between tasks such as flying and driving. This research aims to address the knowledge gap in understanding […]

Membranes that are used in wastewater treatment have been found to clog more rapidly at cold temperatures. This study will examine alternative operating strategies that will reduce clogging and thereby reduce the needs for extra energy and chemical consumption under these operating conditions.
