Typical obesity management strategies might include medication, such as the drug Contrave, which has been approved for weight loss in Canada. While Contrave reduces appetite and food cravings in most people […]

This project investigates the SPbeta bacteriophage, a model organism in phage biology with significant implications for microbiology and biotechnology. The primary objective is to develop and refine methods for its purification and biochemical characterization, enabling a detailed analysis of its structure and function. Using targeted deletion mutants, we aim to identify key genes and proteins […]

As a follow-up to a prevalence study on maltreatment in sport among Canadian athletes (Willson et al., 2022), this project seeks to validate a maltreatment in sport survey. The intention is to partner with Sheffield Hallam University in the United Kingdom to conduct a similar study assessing rates of maltreatment rates in high-performance athletes training […]

Les prothèses myoélectriques permettent aux personnes amputées de contrôler un bras artificiel en captant les signaux électriques des muscles, appelés signaux électromyographiques (EMG). Cependant, ces prothèses restent limitées par des variations de ces signaux, causées par des facteurs comme la sueur, la fatigue ou le déplacement des électrodes, ce qui entraîne des pertes de précision […]

Ce travail porte sur les électrolytes solides pour batteries à lithium métal, en particulier les électrolytes céramiques, qui offrent une bonne conductivité ionique mais sont difficiles à produire par les méthodes classiques. L’impression 3D est explorée pour simplifier la mise en forme et optimiser les propriétés des électrolytes, permettant de personnaliser les formes et compositions […]

Ce projet a pour objectif de mettre en place une simulation à base d’agents afin de créer un jumeau numérique du service d’urgence. Ce jumeau numérique permettra de modéliser et de simuler diverses situations afin de mieux comprendre et améliorer les processus en place. En simulant la réorientation des patients avec priorités 4 et 5, […]
