Targeting Radiation-Induced CXCL12/CXCR4 Signaling and the Immune Microenvironment to Improve the Radio-Curability of Human Cancer

Medical images were collected from cervical tumors from mice undergoing cancer treatment using radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The purpose is to discover new biological molecules and observe the immune system reacts during radiation treatment. These images will be analyzed by MATLAB, which is a computer platform. MATLAB will perform a couple […]

Screening DNA Methylation Signatures in Early Bovine In Vitro Embryos for Developmental Fitness

The success of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in overcoming infertility or improving livestock genetic traits is undeniable. However, the use of ART in livestock has also been associated with an increased likelihood of certain anomalies (e.g., large offspring syndrome, musculoskeletal anomalies) and neonatal mortality because of suboptimal culture conditions. Our partner, L’Alliance Boviteq (Semex) has […]

Estimating the potential of mini-hydropower generation in an ungauged catchment using hydrological modelling

Hydroponic greenhouse agriculture is an excellent method of producing crops throughout the year in agro-climatologically challenging remote provinces such as Newfoundland and Labrador. However, energy requirements for heating, ventilation and light may reduce profitability of greenhouses even with high local demand for products. This pre-feasibility study investigates the potential of using mini-hydroelectric power to generate […]

ML enhanced magnetic noise modeling for quantum magnetometry

Magnetic field sensing is intrinsically sensitive to its environment. In this project, we are developing compensation tools to mitigate against different types of magnetic noise to enhance the accuracy of a quantum magnetometer and of a platform including multiple magnetometers. Data will be collected at various magnetic characterization facilities to inform a ML based correction […]

Apprentissage en continu de modèles prédictifs à partir de données d’électrocardiogrammes

Les électrocardiogrammes (ECG) jouent un rôle majeur dans le diagnostic d’anomalies du rythme cardiaque. Cependant, la quantité de données produites pour suivre des patients sur de longues durées devient intraitable. Heureusement, l’apprentissage automatique (ML) a été appliqué avec succès sur des tâches comme la détection de battements et la classification de type de battements. Suivant […]

In vitro tissue culture methods for ornamental propagation and new varietal development

The innovation of plant cell and tissue culture (TC) techniques has supported plant propagation programs and allowed for the development of new ornamental varieties. Van Belle Nursery is interested in adapting TC as a method of cultivation but lack the technical expertise and understanding of infrastructure requirements to establish an on-site TC program. Specifically, they […]
