Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects 20% of the population, with females twice as likely to develop it. Cognitive symptoms like negative cognitive bias (NCB) are resistant to treatment and understudied. Pilot data suggest sex differences in hippocampal activation and functional connectivity between brain regions in NCB. This is significant, as altered brain connectivity affects therapeutic […]

Le lancement d’une alerte se définit comme la dénonciation d’un acte illégal, immoral ou illégitime, se produisant au sein d’une organisation, afin que des mesures soient prises pour résoudre le fait dénoncé. Cependant, la dénonciation de faits répréhensibles se complique dans des contextes d’institutions clientélistes et de cooptation de la société civile, comme en Amérique […]

Le séjour de recherche de Mme Megan Collins visera, dans un premier temps, à cerner les impacts liés à la prise de drogues stimulantes chez les travailleurs de la construction et les actions déployées par les syndicats du secteur au chapitre de la prévention de cette même problématique. Dans un deuxième temps, ce stage cherchera […]

Express Voice Studio is developing an online portal to streamline payment processes through an internal system, we aim to either create a custom software or integrate an existing platform into our website for optimal efficiency. Our commitment to customer satisfaction drives us to continually improve our services and operations, our vision is to streamline payment […]

The project focuses on developing machine learning (ML) techniques to improve quantum tomography and control, specifically addressing scalability issues in large quantum systems. By collaborating with experts in photonics and quantum machine learning from both the University of Ottawa and the University of Rostock, the project aims to create more efficient quantum state reconstruction methods, […]

Le projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet Franco-Québécois soutenu par les Fonds France Canada pour la Recherche de l’ambassade de France au Canada. Ce projet de recherche vise à explorer des solutions innovantes pour la gestion de la sarcopénie (déclin musculaire) chez les personnes âgées. L’objectif principal est de tester, pour la première fois, […]

A Ph.D. student will be trained in an interdisciplinary area of algal functional genomics and molecular plant physiology. Combining these two areas in this project will solve two major issues. (1) Currently, there is a limitation in the study of brown algal functional genomics; brown algae, including Ectocarpus, are not yet amenable for genetic transformation, […]

Learning a motor task is dependent on many cortical regions. As a skill is learned, changes take place within the circuitry of the brain to optimize efficiency of the movement execution. Following stroke, motor deficits in the upper extremity are common, emphasizing the need for intact skill learning to reacquire motor function. Advancements in rehabilitation […]

The ongoing illicit drug poisoning crisis in Canada has resulted in over 40,000 deaths since 2016, with British Columbia being the province hardest hit. The crisis is largely driven by the presence of potent fentanyl analogues in unregulated drugs, leading to this significant rise in overdose deaths. In contrast, Europe, including France, has not experienced […]

Cardiac arrhythmia is an electrical disturbance in the heart which can cause a variety of potentially life threatening conditions. Arrhythmias are due to malfunctions in the protein channels, which in turn alter the bioelectric currents signaling each heartbeat. A key channel responsible for terminating the electrical signal is the voltage gated potassium channel, IKs. During […]

Virginia Robertson is partnering with Shawnigan Lake School to teach Hul’qumi’num classes to secondary students. Recognizing that the student body is primarily settler and international students, the curriculum design will create space and time for students to learn Canadian colonial history, to engage with active Hul’q’umi’num’ language speakers, create their own theatrical vignettes based on […]

In recent years, lignin valorization has gained increasing attention in both academic and industrial sectors, hoping to achieve salient breakthroughs in lignin metabolism. Many studies have pointed to a promising approach using microorganisms particularly bacteria for lignin valorization through a bio-funneling approach, converting it into products of biotechnological interests. Thus, this project aims to contribute […]
