Respiratory droplets of pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2 in the current COVID-19 pandemic, spread not only from person to person via direct contact, but also indirectly via contaminated frequently touched surfaces. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known as the gold standard of disinfection technology, where the DNA of microorganism are damaged by high energy UV photons. The […]

The goal of this project is to develop a low-cost ventilation system which accurately detects and records both patient treatment data and environmental data is in great need. Further, such a system will allow to create a global health map. This research and resulting hardware and software will not only benefit the current research of […]

The ever-increasing complexity of integrated circuits and systems, induced by ubiquitous portable electronics, internet-power applications and artificial intelligence (AI), necessitate to increase the number interconnections between the chips in a package level like never before. These advanced packaging approaches in turn require novel patterning technology to define the connecting lines between the microelectronics chips. Thus, […]

The intern will enhance the functionality of a hand-held gamma spectrometer produced by Environmental Instrument Canada (EIC). In order to improve the performance of the spectrometer, the control board will be switched to a higher spec microcontroller, and the firmware source code will be re-written from interpreted Javascript to C code. New functionality, including energy […]

The intern will conduct market research, analysis, and ascertain feasibility of the North American Spirits and Craft Spirits market. Additionally, the intern will be tasked to create a profile for an ideal prospect, alongside compiling prospects, and developing a marketing/sales strategy beyond traditional methods to enter into the Spirits Market. The intern will work closely […]

Algae-C is a company specialized in algal biomass production. It enables on-site production of algae for a wide variety of sectors (aquaculture, nutraceutical, cosmetic and biofuel). To date, many fuels, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products are extracted from plants. These valuable plant natural products (PNPs) are often produced in low quantities in plants and extraction methods […]

Beer has been brewed since the dawn of civilization and is composed of only 4 simple ingredients: hops, water, toasted barley (called malt) and yeast. Yeast are the factories that convert chemicals in the starting materials to ethanol and flavors. Not all yeast are the same; over the millennia selection of specific yeast strains for […]

Inversago and the Prentki Laboratory at CR-CHUM will collaborate to evaluate new generation Cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1) blockers for the treatment and/or prevention of type-1 and type-2 diabetes. Previous generations of CB1 blockers have shown their promise in treating several features of the metabolic syndrome, including obesity, type-2 diabetes and liver diseases. However, they were plagued […]

The proposed research project is to create a nanoparticle capable of labeling stem cells to ultimately track their localization and biodistribution in small animal models. This probe will be unique in that it will possess multimodal imaging properties to allow visualization with Positron Emision Tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computer Tomography (SPECT) and other clinical imaging […]

In a broad sense, this research project intends to expand the use of the recycled ru bber (also referred as reclaimed rubber or devulcanized rubber) prepared from waste tires. A new technology has been developed in our lab that leads to preparation of high quality reclaimed rubber (also called devulcanized rubber) in a very simple […]

Ce projet de recherche et développement vise à améliorer le processus de contrôle automatisé et ajouter une surveillance en temps réel des machines à combustion à biomasse afin d’en optimiser l’efficacité et d’améliorer le processus de maintenance préventive. Le projet abordera plusieurs volets, dont l’analyse du cycle opératoire de la machine, la mise en place […]

Le présent projet s’inscrit dans un vaste projet de réingénierie des flux physiques à l’intérieur des PME manufacturières québécoises et canadiennes. Le partenaire est un chef de file canadien du domaine et propose déjà plusieurs solutions commercialisées. Le but du partenaire est de développer un concept modulaire, flexible et interconnecté pour aider les PME à […]
