Les infections respiratoires comme la grippe, la pneumonie, la COVID-19 et le virus respiratoire syncytial (VRS) touchent particulièrement les personnes âgées et peuvent entraîner des complications graves. Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre l’impact des programmes de vaccination contre ces maladies chez les personnes de 65 ans et plus au Canada. En analysant […]

Ce projet vise à évaluer les défis entourant les tests de biomarqueurs du cancer pour les tumeurs solides au Canada en ce qui a trait aux disparités interprovinciales dans le processus de remboursement et l’accès aux tests, aux différences dans les politiques d’accès, aux manquements dans l’harmonisation avec les recommandations des organismes en évaluation des […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à comprendre comment les agences qui évaluent les nouvelles technologies de santé utilisent des données provenant du monde réel pour prendre des décisions sur les traitements en oncologie. L’objectif est d’analyser les lignes directrices de ces agences et de voir comment elles considèrent différentes sortes de preuves (cliniques, économiques, etc.) […]

The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada) is seeking two Mitacs interns to support the organization in two of its ongoing research projects that are focused on leading-edge technologies: (1) advancing regional knowledge and cooperation on technology-related policy issues, including artificial intelligence (AI); and (2) investigating ‘emerging issues’ that will help define cooperation between […]

This project aims to use artificial intelligence methods to reproduce various characteristics of the Earth climate system. More specifically, we know that the climate system is subject to natural variability, a physical phenomenon that dictates that multiple future conditions are possible within atmospheric physical constraints. Modelling this phenomenon is currently very costly with large models […]

Workplace incidents usually need to be reported and it is important to ensure that they are resolved in a timely manner. To understand the procedures involved in an emergency response to a workplace incident, we have started investigating the existing practices of the McGill University Safety office by interviewing their personnel. We focused our investigation […]

The gut microbiota, a complex community of microorganisms residing within the digestive tract, plays a significant role in modulating host immune responses. This project aims to identify specific gut microbial species that influence the immune response and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms involved. To study these microbe-host interactions, mice cells will be exposed to different […]

Superwake designs, manufactures, and operates fixed-wing solar-electric drones, delivering long-endurance aerial services for government and commercial clients. The company’s core activity is providing persistent, energy-efficient data collection and monitoring via solar-powered flight. This project aims to design and implement an inboard flap system to enhance aerodynamic control, with a specific focus on improving landing performance. […]

Questions de recherche : Quels sont les principaux obstacles d’accès et d’adoption des antipsychotiques injectables à action prolongée (IAP) au Canada, et comment peut-on favoriser leur utilisation dans le parcours des patients atteints de la schizophrénie? Pourquoi est-ce que les médecins hésitent à prescrire les IAP aux patients schizophrènes? Teva Canada Innovation (TCI), une division […]

This project, in partnership with the Ahead of the Game Youth Mentoring Organization (AOTG), investigates how race influences the coach-athlete relationship, particularly in the context of sport-based youth mentorship for under-resourced Black youth in rural Nova Scotia. AOTG has been facilitating such programs for over a decade and has found that relevant and relatable coaches […]

Antibodies are biomolecules naturally produced by immune cells, called antibody-secreting cells, to protect against infection and diseases. Each antibody-secreting cell makes a unique type of antibody that binds specifically to a target molecule. A major challenge in developing antibody therapeutics is selecting the most effective antibodies from the billions produced within any given host. Our […]
