Le projet de Thanos Médical vise à développer une sangle intelligente de rééducation intégrée à un fauteuil roulant à verticalisation assistée. Cette sangle textile multisensorielle permet de mesurer en temps réel les paramètres biomécaniques du patient (tension, posture, pression, mouvement) grâce à des capteurs connectés. Les données sont transmises à une application mobile sécurisée pour […]

This project will evaluate whether existing microbiome testing methods can be applied in a more affordable and practical way. The focus is on validating feasibility rather than creating a new approach. To do this, microbiome sequencing, analysis, and sample preparation will be outsourced to commercial facilities, ensuring reliable results at a lower cost. If the […]

Dementia and stroke are growing threats to both our well-being and the healthcare system in this aging society. Research has shown that 40% of dementia cases and 60% of stroke cases may be preventable through lifestyle changes. The problem is that the general public, especially people at high risk for dementia and stroke, lacks a […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting more than 23,500 people in Quebec. Freezing of gait (FoG), a disabling motor symptom characterized by the sudden inability to initiate or continue walking, occurs in up to 80% of patients in advanced stages increasing fall risk and reeducing quality of life. While structural, […]

This project will explore the market potential of liposome based drug delivery systems for cancer therapeutics. By interviewing cancer patients, clinicians, and experts from the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, we aim to better understand their needs and the challenges they face with current cancer treatments. The insights from this work will help guide with the […]

This project focuses on advancing a novel battery-free, antenna-based sensor platform designed for continuous wireless monitoring in healthcare and environmental applications. The technology enables the creation of thin, flexible, and low-cost “sticker-like” sensors that operate without batteries or wired power. These sensors can detect key parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pH, transmitting real-time data […]

This project will design, prototype, and evaluate an explainable, human-in-the-loop Large Language Model (LLM) system to enhance patient engagement and personalization in healthcare while ensuring transparency, privacy, and equity. Building on recent findings that current LLM-based healthcare tools lack robust real-world evaluation and interpretability, the research will develop explainability modules, privacy-preserving techniques, and rigorous evaluation […]

The project will investigate how language practices in multilingual and multicultural schools influence students’ learning experiences and educational opportunities. It aims to identify challenges faced by students from diverse linguistic backgrounds and explore strategies that promote inclusion and equity in education. By collecting and analyzing data on classroom language use, the project seeks to provide […]

The late Ediacaran marks a critical interval in Earth’s history, as it witnessed significant global transformations in the climate system and variations in ocean chemistry. These profound changes affected the evolution and distribution of early animal life. The crisis of Ediacaran fauna likely favored the appearance of the first shelly fossils, considered the prelude to […]

Spinal cord injuries often cause lifelong motor deficits, with limited recovery from current therapies. This project explores a new approach: using deep brain stimulation of the brain’s reward circuits to encourage and reinforce natural movements during rehabilitation. In the rat model of spinal cord injury, we aim to boost both immediate motor performance and long-term […]

Pain not only signals potential injury but also guides learning, teaching us to avoid harmful actions. Recent work from Roy’s laboratory (Coll et al., 2024) highlights the role of prediction errors—the difference between expected and actual outcomes— in shaping our pain perception, depending on whether it aligns with or violates our expectations. However, the precise […]

Mon projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une maîtrise en philosophie et porte sur Être et temps, l’oeuvre maîtresse du philosophe allemand Martin Heidegger. Dans cet ouvrage, Heidegger tente de répondre à la question du sens de l’être, car tout autre questionnement supposerait déjà une certaine compréhension de ce que signifie « être ». Pour y […]
