La croissance démographique, les problèmes environnementaux, les agents pathogènes et de nombreux autres défis empêchent l’Homme d’être autosuffisant vis-à-vis des ressources naturelles, en particulier des plantes et des produits naturels. Tous ces problèmes énumérés s’ajoutent au faible rendement de production des produits naturels des plantes, ce qui augmente la nécessité de trouver des alternatives. Notre […]

The main objective of this project is to integrate technological advances emerging from two major scientific fields, synthesis of nanomaterials and THz characterization to correlate material properties with single photon emission. The focus of this project is to design, and synthesize nanomaterials based on group-III nitrides and oxynitrides and study their material properties using THz […]

The purpose of the proposed research travel is to co-develop a working protocol for high-throughput chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) sequencing using human post-mortem brain tissue at the single-nucleus level. I will be traveling to the lab of Schahram Akbarian (MD, PhD) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Dr. […]

Diabetes affects approximately 4 million Canadians. Diabetes is associated with increased risk of heart failure, which is also substantially more common after a heart attack. Patients with diabetes are particularly vulnerable due to the combination of these risk factors. As a result, risk models that can identify diabetes patients who are at the greatest risk […]

The student is currently performing a study in Canada investigating the usability of thermostat interfaces with a focus on the differences between old and new devices. Working abroad enables the comparison of Canadian findings with German buildings/climate/interfaces. The student will work with the Fraunhofer Institute to develop state of the art approaches for the use […]

e stage s’insère dans le cadre du projet de recherche ARICO : Co-construction de scénarios d’Adaptation des territoires maritimes aux RIsques COtiers dans un contexte de changements climatiques en France et au Québec. Le stage visera à contribuer au développement d’une frise chrono-systémique afin d’analyser les trajectoires de la vulnérabilité et les facteurs les influençant, […]

The project offers an original solution to the problem of the possibility of religious language as posed by Immanuel Kant. Using a method he called “transcendental,” Kant grounded the possibilities of knowledge in objects, rejecting Christian theology. Thinking religion today therefore means contending with the Kantian frame, either upholding its Enlightenment principles and rejecting the […]

Our research focus is to understand the function of the PI3K family of enzymes, and the intracellular signals they produce, in immune system defenses and regulatory functions. Our specific aim is to understand how the dynamics of immune responses generated by B cells are controlled by these signaling enzymes to produce protective or ineffective immune […]

La mycotoxine désoxynivalénol (DON), chez le porc, entraine entre autre l’anorexie et l’affaiblissement de la réponse immunitaire. L’alimentation animale est mondialement contaminée par le DON. Le développement de stratégie antimycotoxine se bute au manque de compréhension de l’action du DON. L’hypothèse de la stimulation par le DON de l’axe neuroendocrinien Intestin-cerveau qui conduit à un […]

The Southern Ocean plays a pivotal role in the climate system by taking up and redistributing heat and carbon globally. This leading order role is attributed to the Southern Ocean’s unique circulation whereby deep waters are brought to the surface by a vigorous wind-driven upwelling. Since these deep waters are rich in dissolved inorganic carbon, […]

Machine learning has revolutionized a variety of fields in the past decade, due to increasing availability of data and processing power. Engineering simulations of most industrially relevant fluid flows (e.g aircraft design and turbomachinery) require modelling of turbulent fluctuations in the flow. For the turbulence modelling community, which has seen widespread stagnation, machine learning offers […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising technology for patient-centric health care, for example, to diagnose diseases, or to recommend therapies. However, deploying AI in health care is challenging. The creation of AI systems typically requires large amounts of data, but health data is kept private due to high privacy requirements. Furthermore, AI in health care […]
