La chaire de recherche industrielle en technologie intra-auriculaire (CRITIAS)-eers Global Technologies (anciennement Sonomax) développe présentement un dispositif intra-auriculaire multifonctions et personnalisé appelé oreille «bionique», qui vise à combiner différentes technologies et matériaux. Ce développement est prometteur via des prototypes de laboratoires mais des questions relatives à sa production à plus grande échelle subsistent. Les méthodes […]

Ce projet vise à élucider davantage le mode d’action de certains produits élaborés par ProMetic BioSciences inc. sur certaines cellules myéloïdes humaines en relation avec une réponse cellulaire impliquée dans un nombre grandissant de maladies humaines. Il s’agit d’un stress du réticulum endoplasmique (RE), un organite cellulaire impliqué dans la synthèse des protéines. Cette dernière […]

With 3D printing comes the capacity to create custom plastic components needed in orthopaedic implants between surgeries, as short-term and possibly long-term measures. This customization and flexibility comes at the cost of facing new challenges: how can we sterilize and clean a 3D printed product that cannot withstand high temperatures, and what effects do low […]

Using electroencephalography based technology, it is possible to study brain function over short periods of time. Building on previous Mitacs funded research, we are developing a point of care device based on the Halifax consciousness scanner called NeuroCatch, that is cheap, portable and easy to use. The ability to monitor changes in brain function after […]

For platelet transfusion, it is necessary to prepare, store and maintain platelet concentrates. Platelets concentrates have a short shelf life and must be conserved at ambient temperature – ideal for bacterial growth. Bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates represents the major cause of morbidity and mortality in transfusion. However, the bacterial agent causing these effects remains […]

Microalgae have potential for use in both the food and feed industries. It is already used in a number of different applications, including biofuels, flavour enhancers, colouring agents and emulsification agents, as well as sources of protein, polysaccharides, lipids and vitamins. Microalgae also contains proteins which can serve as precursor of small fragment (3-20 amino […]

The project involves the development of a power amplifier for driving therapeutic ultrasound transducers such as those used in treating cancer and inducing blood coagulation. In particular, the design will make use of a unconventional amplifier topology, class E/F, and advanced GaN FET technology in order to maximize amplifier efficiency. High efficiency amplifiers are important […]

Pulse oximeters are key devices to provide early information on the respiratory and circulatory systems. In addition to be bulky and cumbersome, most commercially available systems lack a wireless connection, which cause numerous inconveniences. This project aims at designing a new wireless ring pulse oximeter which will enable to measure transmitted and reflected light from […]

The project is focused on study of commercial microbial cultures for biological remediation of soils and ground waters contaminated by chlorinated organic compounds. The successful elaboration and improvement of the products requires analysis on molecular-genetic level and detailed understating of organization of the microbial communities. The work benefits to industry partner by providing comprehensive information […]
