This project will focus on the evolution of data models through the improvement of internal tooling to allow data self-service along with the operationalization of production-grade data pipelines in the field of bioinformatics, due to the immense amount of growth in the volume of data being produced from genome sequencing. With public data repositories that […]

This proposed research project will be performed to understand the influence of female apparel on running biomechanics, soft tissue vibrations, and responses to neuromuscular fatigue in prolonged running. There is an emerging and growing need in sporting goods research and development departments to study female-specific running patterns in order to create products that ensure comfort, […]

Breast cancer is the most common cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) in 109 countries including Canada. Approximately 70% of the breast cancer surgeries are breast-conserving lumpectomy procedures. Histopathology analysis typically require 2-4 days, resulting in the need for a second surgery if a margin is positive. Perimeter Medical is developing advanced Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) […]

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a complicated electrotherapeutic medical procedure which provides irreplaceable therapies and treatments for several nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. Advancements in the electrodes designs will improve the delivered therapy and enhance the efficacy of the DBS system. The objective of this project is to begin preliminary designs for deep […]

The developmental programming of an organism ensures reproducibility of organ shape and size with accurate robustness. But, how an organ knows when to grow and when to stop is a key question that remains inadequately addressed. Both genetics and mechanics play a role in the maintenance of organ reproducibility and robustness, especially in plants. Mechanical […]

Plants have several ways of defending themselves from plant pathogens including physical structures such as thick cuticles and defense hormones such as salicylic acid. The latter induces a cascade of plant defense responses that can ultimately lead to resistance. Similarly, to successfully invade their host, plant pathogens secrete a cocktail of proteins called effectors that […]

Le projet consiste à utiliser un microgel déjà existant constituer d’un polymère ainsi que des particules d’or. Ce microgel présente des caractéristiques de gonflement réversible. Ces gonflements peuvent être maîtrisés par l’irradation à la lumière du microgel. A partir de ce microgel, on souhaite y greffer des nouveaux polymères. Les greffages auront lieu soit directement […]

The costs of manually sorting seeds and plants for commercial clients and international export is costly and at risk of human error. Correspondingly, 2020 Seed Labs requires cost-effective, custom solutions to enhance automation in their seed sorting and plant selection workflows. Across diverse sectors, image analysis combined with machine has provided a wide-range of benefits. […]

The objective of this project is to develop lipid nanoparticle (LNP) reagents for the delivery of nucleic acids to turn off, or turn on target genes in “hard-to-transfect” neurons and stem cells in vitro and in vivo. A recent report (BCC Research, April 2011) observed that “51% of researchers employ cell-based techniques to perform transfection […]

The project will focus on the development and validation of novel strain measurement techniques. The effectiveness of mathematical modeling, optical tacking programs and microelectrical mechanical systems will be proven through ex-vivo testing on cadaver equine systems. The results and findings from the new systems will be evaluated against the current standards and literature reports for […]

L’étudiant participera à un entraînement structuré en bioinformatique visant à parfaire ses connaissances de Python et R. Le focus sera placé sur les sciences omiques et ultimement sont projet vise à la détection et l’identification de façon précoce des maladies des plantes, bien que le focus sera initialement placé sur la tomates, une culture importante […]
