Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol, fat and immune cells deposits in large arteries. In the body, the main inflammatory modulators are called immune cells. We have recently discovered that a type of immune cell called marginal zone B (MZB) cells protect from atherosclerosis (Nus, Nat Med 2017). In response […]

My project aims to unravel how the brain can precisely deliver blood flow to match neuronal metabolism, termed neurovascular coupling (NVC). Evidence suggests that functional changes within the neurovascular unit, which is comprised of the neuron, the astrocyte and the vascular contractile cell, are associated with the development of vascular-cognitive impairment, as well as treatment […]

Our project will be the first research in Canada that draws the techniques and resources from four disciplines – education, psychology, psychometrics and computer science – to investigate the effects of robotics education (RE) on child cognitive development, self-efficacy and enjoyment. Hence, our research findings will help Robokids School to understand the long-term effects of […]

The subject of this project is to investigate the use of various materials in chemical looping combustion on a bench scale. The University of Manchester in Manchester, the United Kingdom will be hosting me during a 3-month internship. The main purpose of this work is to improve the efficiency of the capturing process and lower […]

Le présent projet propose de renseigner sur la nature et l’ampleur de l’anxiété de performance en milieu scolaire, une problématique qui prend de l’ampleur chez les adolescents anxieux. Les médias discutent effectivement de plus en plus du fardeau de l’anxiété aux évaluations chez les élèves qui entrainent des coûts importants par ses conséquences sur la […]

Fibrosis comprises different connective tissue disorders that ultimately result in deposition of detrimental scar tissue in injured or inflamed organs. The culprit cells for organ scarring are called myofibroblasts because they secrete fibrous collagen matrix (“fibro”) that is contracted (“myo”) into scar tissue. Excessive myofibroblast activities are responsible for loss of function of vital organs […]

Les greffes de peau traditionnelles, tout en respectant la norme absolue en matière de traitement des plaies, ont un succès limité chez les chevaux en raison de la rareté de la peau des donneurs. De ce fait, l’étude des fibroblastes en culture 3D peut aider à comprendre les mécanismes de l’interaction cellule-matrice, car ces cellules […]

Regenerative medicine has long faced challenges in the search for alternatives that ensure an effective treatment by accelerating the repair process without altering the physiological phases of healing. It is believed that the utilization of the stem-cell secretoma can benefit injured tissue by modulating the local microenvironment, providing cytoprotectors, anti-inflammatory and angiogenic factors during an […]

Principal Investigator: Sandra Carvalho (PhD), School of Psychology, University of Minho, Gualtar Braga, Portugal Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a serious and debilitating illness that affects citizens worldwide. In Portugal, depression can be found within 7% of the population and has been linked to over a thousand deaths every year. In order to reduce the […]

The purpose of the project is to advance training in isotopic analysis. This will be achieved by a comparative isotopic pilot study to assess the degree to which techniques used can nuance the origins of modern animals in Australia, in advance of a larger study of material from the Early Bronze Age Middle East. The […]

A key factor in fostering the resilience of children and youth is the presence of at least one caring adult who holds high but reasonable expectations of them. In some instances, this relationship is formally facilitated by an organization in the form of mentorship. Despite the documented positive effects men have in the lives of […]
