Selenium nanoparticles are used in the biomedical field to treat diseases such as diabetes and inflammatory diseases. Also, many studies have been reported on the antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-leishmaniasis, and anti-biofilm activity of these nanoparticles. Other applications of selenium nanoparticles are included in dye degradation and use for mercury bioremediation. The aim of this study […]

Plants face various pathogen challenges. Pathogen infection can not only trigger local defence responses to restrict pathogen growth at the primary infection sites, it can also induce plants to generate mobile signals, which move to the uninfected tissue to protect them from further pathogen attack. This primed immunity is called systemic acquired resistance (SAR). A […]

The objective of this project is to determine the usability and acceptance of Teacher Time Machine web application as an AI power platform for teachers, administrators, and school district leaders. It will involve doing market research, creating a market strategy and determining and testing execution of marketing steps. The partner organization will benefit by having […]

The proposed MITACS internship project is an extension of an existing research collaboration in advanced aerodynamic flow control concepts with electro-fluidic actuators between École Polytechnique de Montréal (Polytechnique) and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT-K). The former party is responsible for wind tunnel experiments and the latter party for advanced flow simulations with a […]

Appleby College is in the early stages of developing its AI learning and training program for high-school-age students. The program aims to provide students an interactive platform focusing on AI literacy and competency. AI technology is a trending domain incorporated in every aspect of life. Therefore, ensuring that students understand AI at an earlier age […]

The proposed project aims to study how a novel microRNA can improve heart muscle function in patients with heart failure. This microRNA helps heart muscle cells relax better, which is a key issue in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). By combining the biophysics expertise and force measurements techniques developed at McGill […]

Electrifying the chemical industry is a necessity towards a more sustainable future. A potential approach to achieve this ambitious goal, is the use of plasma catalysis. Herein, a plasma is generated by applying a high voltage to generate a discharge in the gas mixture of interest. In the same volume, catalysts can be packed to […]

Organ fibrosis contributes to the top 10 causes of death in Canada, affects >6.5M North Americans, consumes >$25 billion in global healthcare expenses, and is a major burden for patients, families, and our society. One of the main signals driving fibrosis is persistent and excessive production of the growth factor TGF-beta. The Hinz lab identified […]

Research Question: How does ER-remodelling affect plastid morphology? The project focuses on unveiling the relationship between the plastid and ER by investigating novel proteins that seem to mediate the contact between both cellular compartments. Besides investigating the possible bridge between organelles key players changing plastid morphological aspects will be analysed in depth to understand if […]
