An IGF-Trap for cancer therapy

The Brodt laboratory engineered and developed a novel IGF-targeting molecule (the IGF-Trap) with otent anti-cancer effects. The objective of this project is to optimize the use of this potential drug in re-clinical cancer models and develop sensitive biomarkers for assessing and predicting its effect. In addition, the effect of this inhibitor on pancreatic cancer growth […]

Analysis and Optimization of Post-Disaster Temporary Housing Strategies

The proposed project aims to improve temporary housing strategies after disasters by developing a tool that helps decision-makers choose the best types of shelters, their locations, and their capacity over an 18-month period. The project will consider factors such as the type of disaster, how long people will be displaced, the weather, the damaged buildings, […]

Internship in Metabolic Engineering – Institute of Julich

This internship project focuses on developing optimized DNA sequences, known as signal peptides, to enhance the secretion of proteins produced by bacteria. Signal peptides are critical for secreting proteins out of the bacterial cell, facilitating their purification and downstream processing. Under the guidance of Dr. Susana Matamouros and Professor Michael Bott, a leading expert in […]

Utilizing Remote Sensing Technology for Blue Carbon Mapping in Coastal Ecosystems

The proposed project involves using advanced remote sensing technologies, such as optical imagery, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and LiDAR, to map and monitor blue carbon ecosystems like mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. These ecosystems play a critical role in climate change mitigation by storing significant amounts of carbon. By focusing on Quebec’s coastal areas, the […]

Demande de Stage MITACS à l’Université d’Oslo

Les prothèses myoélectriques permettent aux personnes amputées de contrôler un bras artificiel en captant les signaux électriques des muscles, appelés signaux électromyographiques (EMG). Cependant, ces prothèses restent limitées par des variations de ces signaux, causées par des facteurs comme la sueur, la fatigue ou le déplacement des électrodes, ce qui entraîne des pertes de précision […]

Photodetection in quantum dots

The transformation of light in current, i.e. photodetection, has been exploited in several technologies. From the detectors used in materials characterization to solar cells, the use of performant materials that can efficiently produce photocurrents is inspired by the normal functioning of the eyes. Within them, a photon of light is converted into a current, traveling […]

Formalisation d’arguments de sécurité

S’inscrivant dans la continuité du premier stage, ce projet vise à unifier les langages de description de structures argumentatives GSN et TCL et à adapter la théorie de Dempster-Shafer au langage unifié. Cette théorie est la plus adéquate pour intégrer à une structure argumentative les évaluations de ses noeuds. Notre objectif est d’arriver à déterminer […]

Exploring the employment experiences of Inuit receiving employability services at Ivirtivik

Presently and historically, Inuit have faced unequal access to employment. Douglas Health Research Center members and Ivirtivik, an employment centre for Inuit, seek to create a collaborative, meaningful research relationship to better understand employment facilitators and barriers for Inuit in Tiohtià:ke (the geographical region called “Montréal”). Inuit cultural knowledge guides this endeavour, emphasizing inclusive, collaborative […]
