Le stage au sein du Laboratoire de Marie Laberge sollicitera mon expertise en analyse des risques à la santé et sécurité du travail (SST) dans trois projets de recherche complémentaires dirigés par Marie Laberge dans le cadre de la Chaire de recherche du Canada sur la prévention de l’incapacité de travail dès l’adolescence. Les trois […]

The goal of this project is to train and test a machine learning algorithm to detect pharmaceutical contaminants in water. Surface nanodroplets will be generated for several key compounds. These, will be used as independent extraction medium with varying contaminant concentration. The large number of droplets will enable collection of a high quality training data […]

A consequence of aging is the increased risk of neurodegenerative disease. In the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases is the production of misfolded proteins which can clump together and interfere with normal cellular function. Mitochondria are highly important as they produce energy necessary for cell survival as well as regulate the controlled cell death process of […]

To prevent diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Ebola virus disease vaccines are the most effective tool. For this, the promising viral vector recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) is applied as production platform. Using suspension HEK293 cells, rVSV-based vectors are currently only produced in batch mode. However, the establishment of perfusion cultivations at […]

The COVID-19 pandemic and corresponding health, social and economic implications have resulted in significant life changes for youth. One of the most critical impacts has been on youth mental health and wellbeing. To address the mental health needs of diverse youth populations during and following the COVID-19 pandemic, the proposed internship will advance the CIHR-funded […]

An individual’s voice is unique due to a combination of their physical and social characteristics. For children who present with complex communication needs (CCN), sometimes the only functional way to communicate is by using an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device. AAC devices with speech output capability are known as voice output communication aids (VOCAs). […]
