As the Canadian population is aging, more and more Canadians will show cognitive decline. Aging and certain types of neurological disorders is often associated with deficits in executive functions: goal maintenance, planning, task switching and attention. These functions are critical for the maintenance of functional independence. Few validated rehabilitation approaches for these types of deficits […]

This research collaboration explores the application of Chan-Lam coupling (expertise of the Schaper group) in mechanochemistry (expertise of the Jurca group) to explore new and more efficient preparation methods in drug development and production.

La cytométrie en flux est une méthode essentielle pour diagnostiquer les cancers du sang tels que les leucémies, les lymphomes et le myélome multiple. Elle permet d’identifier les types de cellules impliquées grâce à des marqueurs exprimés à leur surface. Actuellement, la préparation des échantillons est souvent réalisée manuellement, ce qui peut entraîner des erreurs […]

Les chondrosarcomes extra-squelettiques sont des tumeurs rares dont le traitement repose principalement sur la chirurgie. Toutefois, l’ajout d’une radiothérapie avant l’opération (radiothérapie néo-adjuvante) pourrait aider à réduire la taille de la tumeur et faciliter son retrait. Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre les bénéfices et les risques de cette approche en comparant des […]

Tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis, are an increasing public health concern in Canada, with rising case numbers driven by climate change and expanding tick populations. Current testing methods are limited as they typically detect only one pathogen at a time and often miss early-stage infections. As a result, many Canadians can go undiagnosed […]
