Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) To address local food system issues like loss of farmland, people without enough food, or climate change impacts, […]

The project aims to facilitate the research and development of new drugs by applying machine learning and deep learning to further develop an AI-assisted molecular search database. The company has an internal dataset holding more than a billion molecules. Two main challenges are keeping the molecule catalog updated and Searching for the desired molecule or […]

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging modality enabling the detection of many physiological process, such as the uptake of specific molecule by cancer cells. Inside the patient, 511keV gamma produced by positron annihilation is detected and the annihilated point is mapped. Detecting the interaction time of each gamma-ray with a 10ps timing resolution […]

Les troubles musculosquelettiques (TMS) sont une préoccupation importante au Québec et diverses avenues de prévention sont mises de l’avant pour en diminuer leurs impacts : formation du personnel, conception d’aménagements et/ou d’équipements adaptés, ajustement des exigences de production, etc. Dernièrement, les exosquelettes semblent susciter l’engouement pour prévenir ces risques dans les milieux de travail. Cependant, […]

Molecular generative methods are at the heart of our computational platform. We use cutting edge deep neural networks in order to generate unseen molecules based on existing conditions or molecular space. Since external projects typically require different architectures, we are continuously expanding our generative methods toolbox with new approaches. This project aims to augment our […]

Iron-based nanoparticles can not only be used in sensitizers or absorbers but also retain excellent electrical conductivity, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. So far, very few synthetic methods are known to implement stable Iron-based nanomaterials. We propose to develop novel synthesis routes to produce QDs. In addition, we plan to develop surface modification processes to […]

Ontario’s 73 Community Health Centres provide both health and social care services to at risk populations. During the pandemic, Community Health Centres have had to switch much of their care from in-person to virtual services. This has had some positive effects (for example, by reducing rates of missed appointments) and some negative (many clients do […]

Ce projet sera focalisé sur le développement d’un système très sensible, rentable et multiplexe en combinant différents domaines: nanofabrication, biomatériaux et nanomatériaux. Le prototype aura un rôle interdisciplinaire dans la surveillance des maladies allergiques au besoin. Il va générer également des innovations dans les dispositifs miniaturisés et les diagnostics qui sécuriseront la commercialisation et ajouteront […]

En situation de crise ou haute turbulence, les organisations doivent pouvoir réagir rapidement aux bouleversements provenant de l’environnement interne et externe ayant un impact sur les pratiques et routines habituelles, tout en maintenant leurs activités quotidiennes. Afin de répondre à des situations critiques inédites, l’organisation de ces réponses doit pouvoir se faire selon des cycles […]

Avec l’augmentation du nombre de personnes sur Terre et du vieillissement dans le monde, les maladies oculaires deviennent des enjeux économiques et sociétaux. De nombreuses recherches sont en cours pour développer des vecteurs de médicament mucoadhésifs pour ces maladies afin d’améliorer l’administration des médicaments dans les gouttes ophtalmiques. Cependant, chaque individu possède une composition en […]

The continuous world innovation in the manifacturing techniques led to the development of highly precise technologies such as 3D printing. This technique has been then further improved in such a way to print biomaterials and cells, with extreme precision. It constitute a significant innovation for tissue engineering research. Collagen, the most abundant protein of the […]

When a citizen collapses from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), it must be recognized before anyone can call 9-1-1 or bystanders can start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In more than 75% of all SCAs, no one is there to witness the event, and resultant survival is near 0%. To address delays in detecting SCA and administering CPR, […]
