Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre comment certaines protéines du système immunitaire réagissent lorsqu’une cellule subit une infection bactérienne. L’une d’elles, la caspase-4 peut déclencher la mort contrôlée d’une cellule lorsqu’un lipide bactérien se retrouve à l’intérieur de celle-ci. En s’activant, la caspase-4 coupe plusieurs protéines, dont TAP1 et TAP2, essentielles pour permettre aux cellules […]

This project aims to develop Magnetic Resonance Navigation (MRN), an innovative technique for treating liver cancer. MRN uses the magnetic fields of clinical MRI systems to form and guide aggregates of micro-particles toward tumor-feeding arteries using controlled magnetic field gradients and gravity. Compared to current treatments, this approach has the potential to be less invasive […]

Stroke happens every 5 minutes and one common and disabling disorder due to right-brain stroke is spatial neglect, a problem with paying attention to the left side of the body and world. Spatial neglect is chronic and leads to slower recovery and longer hospital stays, and effective treatment requires significant health care resources. The purpose […]

This project addresses the growing burden of multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) among Indigenous populations in Vaupés, Colombia, with a focus on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia. Using participatory, qualitative methods, the intern seeks to understand how culturally-centred, integrated models of care can be designed to improve coordination and continuity of care […]

This Master’s thesis project, conducted under a Mitacs Globalink research internship, aims to address persistent challenges in hospital pharmaceutical supply management—such as fluctuating medication demand, supply-chain delays, and inefficient manual forecasting—by developing an end-to-end AI-enabled solution. Using a large dataset of 6 million prescription records and 2 million stock movement entries, the student will apply […]

This project will review global research to understand how ready newcomer communities are for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in community-based participatory research (CBPR) and how acceptable and trustworthy AI tools are in equity-focused CBPR. By examining what is known about digital access, language needs, cultural safety, trust, and concerns about bias, the project […]

This project explores the health and wellbeing of women who have experienced war, displacement and resettlement, with a focus on Sudanese those living in Canada. Through a PRISMA-guided secondary research approach, it synthesizes global evidence on mental health, coping strategies, access to healthcare and chronic disease prevention among vulnerable newcomer women. The aim is to […]

Les infections causées par des biofilms bactériens sont présentement l’un des plus grands défis en santé. Un biofilm est une structure protectrice produite par les bactéries, qui les rend beaucoup plus difficiles à éliminer : elles deviennent résistantes aux traitements et provoquent des infections persistantes, notamment sur les prothèses articulaires. Ces infections sont longues à […]

Le calcul quantique, ou q-calcul, constitue une approche moderne de l’analyse mathématique dans laquelle les opérateurs différentiels et intégrals classiques sont généralisés par des opérateurs dépendant d’un paramètre q. Ce cadre établit un lien fécond entre les mathématiques et la physique (Yamano, 2002) et possède de nombreuses applications dans les probabilités, la théorie des nombres, […]

This project is a collaborative research partnership designed to support Tression, a Canadian health-tech apparel company, in enhancing its product development. The primary challenge in the therapeutic apparel industry is the difficulty of accurately and efficiently testing the performance of medical-grade compression garments. The current process can be slow and subjective, making it difficult to […]

When we sleep, the brain produces rhythmic patterns of activity that help us learn, remember, and maintain healthy function. Some of these patterns travel across the brain like waves. Scientists believe these traveling waves are important for how the brain processes information, but we still do not fully understand how they form or what they […]

This project explores whether surgical expertise can be measured from the way instruments move during a realistic neurosurgical simulation. The goal is to develop machine learning models that learn motion patterns from recorded instrument movements and use them to classify different levels of surgical skill. The dataset includes recordings from participants performing a surgical simulation […]
