La construction est au croisement d’objectifs théoriques de performance et sa réalisation concrète. À partir de plus de 400 plans, devis et contrats entre 1820 et 1860 à Montréal, ce projet propose d’analyser le rôle de la construction et du patrimoine immobilier dans l’histoire sociale et économique. Ce volet complète un recherche sur l’amélioration des […]

Chronic pain and tinnitus (ringing in the ears) are among the most common health conditions found in veterans. They both can significantly impair the quality of life of veterans and likely interact. To better manage these conditions an application combining respiration exercises, called cardiac coherence exercises (CC), and sound therapy was developed. CC consists in […]

Psoriasis is an inflammatory chronic skin disease for which we skin models to study. Dr. Roxane Pouliot (academic supervisor) group at University Laval (Quebec) has previously developed a human psoriatic skin model using skin cells to which lymphocytes (from human blood) have been added. The goal of this project is to further optimize the skin […]

The general objective of this project is to provide an update to the GFIT application that will include the following: The ability to automatically send the user a receipt to use for insurance. To develop the integration between workout logs and workout plans. To integrate the digital clinic with a direct booking system. The ability […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

The internship project involves working with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which play a key role in regenerative medicine due to their translational potential. I will be conducting experiments to find new ways to regulate and modify the functions of these cells, and analyzing high-throughput screening data to find novel therapeutic targets. Along the way, I […]

To best conserve highly social species, conservation managers must consider how resources are distributed between group members. Northern Resident killer whales are listed as threatened and prey limitation is considered one of their primary threats. These whales share their limited prey with each other, and this prey sharing is central to their unusually stable social […]

Our project will explore the use of calcinated eggshells to reduce phosphorus runoff from farms, and reuse of these eggshells as fertilizers. The intern will test these calcinated eggshells mixed with woodchips to see how well they can absorb phosphorus under different conditions. They will also study how the phosphorus is distributed in the soil […]

This particular research project will be carried out to design and analyze district energy system options for multi-residential buildings and townhouses. District energy systems are centralized energy plants used to generate cooling, heating, electricity and other useful outputs, in a combined manner. Their implementation to the existing utility infrastructure strengthens the resiliency and reliability of […]

TerraVerdae Bioworks is working with a type of bacteria that is able to metabolize methanol, converting it into a bioplastic. TerraVerdae is focusing its commercial operations on bioplastic production but is interested in identifying other bioproducts that can also be produced. It is known that this type of bacteria forms a symbiotic relationship with plants, […]

Cardiac PET is a powerful tool to assess heart function. One measure from a Cardiac PET study is left ventricle ejection fraction. This is mainly estimated through gated reconstructions of relative perfusion imaging and segmentation of the left ventricle myocardium. However, direct estimations of left ventricle volume and thus ejection fraction can be obtained by […]

This project aims to develop a novel gene delivery method for treating brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. This method uses a specially designed virus system, called iPhAGE miniphagemids, to deliver genes of interest in a targeted manner. This method is better suited for targeting the brain as the miniphagemids are far more efficient, in comparison […]
