Mechanical control of DNA methylation in regenerative cells

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) exposed to stiff environment lose regeneration potential and acquire a scar-producing myofibroblast (MF) phenotype. We published that 4-weeks culture on soft-tissue-like surfaces not only prevents acute MF features but imprints memory that protects MSC from subsequent mechanical MF activation. Epigenetic methylation of DNA by methyltransferases (DNMTs) memorizes MF phenotype in disease. […]

Plasma activation of gold electrodes for the preparation of electrochemical aptamer-based biosensors

Electrochemical aptamer-based sensors (aptasensors) are a promising type of biosensor that can be potentially used as a biomedical diagnostic tool to detect a wide range of biochemicals with remarkable sensitivity and selectivity. However, the surface of electrochemical aptasensors is susceptible to degradation and etching, which can compromise their reliability and stability. To address this issue, […]

InSAR time-series analysis for assessing seismic hazards

Earthquakes occur during movement along plate boundaries and active faults. Evaluation of seismic hazards on active faults relies on the understanding of seismic histories and rates of the current deformation. However, in some fault zones large earthquakes have long recurrence periods (> 100-10,000 years; e.g., Tian Shan, China; Charlevoix, Quebec), and thus past seismic statistics […]

Développement de surfaces nanostructurées et spatialement fonctionnalisées pour un biocapteur plasmonique ultrasensible

Mon projet de doctorat consiste à développer un capteur optique pour détecter des concentrations de micro-ARNs de l’ordre du femtomolaire alors que la sensibilité classique du système utilisé est de l’ordre du nanomolaire. Pour gagner ces cinq ordres de grandeur, nous visons à combiner deux méthodes d’amplification du signal. Dans le laboratoire Charles Fabry à […]

Climat scolaire interculturel: Validation d’un outil de mesure et exploration des résistances des milieux

Le but du premier projet de recherche est de créer un outil permettant d’évaluer la qualité du climat scolaire interculturel, du point de vue des élèves. Plus spécifiquement, nous validerons de façon quantitative le questionnaire créé. Ensuite, nous validerons la mesure de l’outil avec la perception spécifique qu’ont les élèves issus de l’immigration du climat […]
