Cytotoxicity analysis of novel monoclonal antibodies targeting SSAT-1

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide with approximately 8 million deaths in 2010. Most cancer treatments lack specificity and affect the whole body, with toxic effects on both cancerous and normal cells. The cytotoxic effect of a new therapy developed by Biomark Technologies, Inc. targeting cancer cells will be assessed. Biomark […]

Stabilisation géochimique des fosses remblayées et ennoyées avec du Bauxsol

Ce projet de recherche porte sur l’étude approfondie des propriétés du Bauxsol™, un produit dérivé de résidus de bauxite, pour améliorer la qualité de l’eau dans les fosses de mines à ciel ouvert. Ces fosses sont généralement remplies d’eau après la fin des activités minières et contiennent des résidus miniers et des stériles susceptibles de […]

Remote Patient Blood Glucose Monitoring using rPPG

The project will enable contactless measurement of blood glucose using remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology using patients’ face or finger videos which is a comparatively new artefact. There is a lack of training data and the blood volume pulse (BVP) signal extracted from the videos suffer from a lot of noise resulting in poor measurement accuracy. […]

Soutenir la mise en place de milieux d’activités sociales plus inclusif pour les personnes cérébrolésées : une recherche-intervention

Les lésions cérébrales affectent plus de 4% de la population canadienne. Une des conséquences majeures de ce type de lésions n’est pas nécessairement physique : elle est sociale. En effet, la participation sociale des personnes cérébrolésées diminue drastiquement après un accident, ce qui génère de l’isolement et d’autres problématiques importantes liées entre autres à la […]

Design and screen novel cell-penetrating peptides intracellular delivery of proteins

This project focuses on improving the delivery of a therapeutic protein called ribonuclease (RNP) into cells, which could help treat certain genetic diseases. The challenge with current delivery methods is that the proteins often have trouble getting inside the cell and reaching the nucleus, where they are most needed. To address this, Sinedore Bioscience, in […]

Lightweight Composite Consoles for Aerospace Applications

Lightweight Composite Consoles for Aerospace Applications: Carbon fiber composites used in aerospace applications are subjected to harsh environments while in service. In particular, structural components are often exposed to oils, fuels and hydraulic fluids. Over time, these contaminants may affect the material properties of the composites and thus, the mechanical behavior of the components. This […]

Development of theranostic gold nanorods as new cancer therapeutics

SONA Nanotech is a world leader in the manufacturing of gold nanoparticles and applications thereof. Currently SONA has an anti-cancer technology that gently heats tumors from the inside using gold nanoparticles. The anti-cancer effect comes by virtue of cancerous cells being more susceptible to heat-induced death than healthy cells. Currently, SONA Nanotech’s gold nanoparticles require […]
