NeuroRx is an imaging contract research organization (CRO) specialized in the central nervous system (CNS) that utilizes state-of-the-art digital image processing techniques to produce accurate and precise outcome measures for clinical trials of drugs in development. Prior to analysis, all scans must pass Quality Control (QC). The goal of this project will be to incorporate […]

The planned research program aims to address an existing gap: the lack of commercial availability of reference materials for food allergens to be used in the context of analytical method development, validation and performance testing. In particular, naturally incurred samples representing food matrices where priority allergens are likely to occur, in a controlled and calibrated […]

The project will develop ecosystem value accounts of land owned by the forestry company Kenauk Canada ULC (Kenauk Canada) using a variety of ecological economic approaches. The emphasis is to capture the broader value of ecosystem goods and services as opposed to equating value with the price of standing timber. Approaches under consideration include: net […]

Wastes produced by mines include tailings and waste rock. Tailings are crushed rock produced by mineral extraction and are typically disposed as slurry. Waste rock is coarse material excavated to create mine openings that have no economic value. These wastes are often stored on the surface in tailings impoundments or waste rock piles and they […]

Mines wastes include tailings and waste rock. Tailings are crushed rock produced by mineral extraction and waste rock is coarse material excavated to create mine openings. These wastes are commonly disposed on the surface in tailings or waste rock piles, which could pose serious environmental and geotechnical issues. Backfilling the openings of underground mines with […]

The planned research aims to validate food allergen testing tools from r-Biopharm Canada, and their incorporation in novel quality-management systems used in food production. The first part of the project consists in developing validation criteria for allergen methods under the auspices of the Association of Official Analytical Communities (AOAC) and apply these new requirements for […]

L’innovation est une condition nécessaire à la compétitivité des entreprises. Dans une économie mondialisée, plus verte, où la concurrence est accrue, les entreprises doivent innover avec succès et en continu. Cela passe par le développement d’une capacité d’innovation qui, pour toute entreprise et tout intervenant en innovation, est un enjeu. La littérature montre que la […]

Au Canada, le cancer épithélial de l’ovaire (CEO) est à l’origine de 1500 décès par an. Etant donné qu’aucune amélioration de la survie des patientes n’a été observée durant les dernières décennies, il devient impératif de développer de nouvelles stratégies thérapeutiques de ce cancer. Le CEO est caractérisé par une hétérogénéité accrue qui s’installe dès […]

Au Canada, le cancer de l’ovaire est le deuxième cancer gynécologique le plus commun. Étant donné que cette maladie est asymptomatique pendant les stades précoces, plus de 70% des patientes sont diagnostiquées à des stades avancés. Le but de notre projet est de proposer de nouvelles options thérapeutiques du cancer de l’ovaire. Il est établi […]

Human influence on current climate change is now unequivocal. The rate of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions continues to increase, and climate models and observations show that climate changes are accelerating in response to these emissions. In this context, the rate of the current climate change strongly modifies the frequency and the intensity of extreme events, […]

The rate of the current climate change strongly modifies the frequency, the duration and the intensity of extreme events, such as droughts, heat waves or extreme precipitation. Strong rates of greenhouse gases emissions can cause a destabilization of a component of the climate system (e.g. the sudden melt of the Arctic sea ice). Such a […]
