Development of peptide formulations to treat antimicrobial resistant infections

Excessive use of antimicrobials results in the evolution of antimicrobial resistant microbes, and the infection caused by such microbes are known as antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections. AMR infections are on the rise and has a negative impact on the quality of life, healthcare system and ultimately on the economy. The current proposal aims at the […]

Redesigning Transformer Neural Networks for Data-Efficient Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Transformer neural network models have achieved state of the art results in many areas of machine learning, including natural language processing (e.g. BERT, GPT-3) and computer vision (e.g. ViT, SAM). However, to achieve these results currently requires extremely large training datasets which are not available in every domain. One such domain is medical imaging, in […]

Étude de l’ablation laser en régime d’absorption linéaire

L’objectif principal du projet est de mettre en évidence le lien entre l’absorption linéaire d’un matériau, qui varie avec la longueur d’onde, et l’efficacité d’ablation laser (volume/énergie) de ce dernier. L’étude proposée consistera à usiner divers matériaux, dont les spectres d’absorption ont été préalablement caractérisés lors de projet antérieur, à l’aide de diverses sources laser […]

The characterization of fungal pathogens and endophytes in the seed bank to assist endangered species recovery plans for Braya fernaldii and Braya longii

The Limestone Barrens of Newfoundland are a coastal ecosystem hosting many rare plant species, including the endangered Braya fernaldii and Braya longii. In addition to habitat loss and human disturbance, these plants are chronically affected by fungal infections and foliar damage by insect pests. To assist species recovery efforts across their historic range, seeds have […]

Investigating Southern Resident and Bigg’s Killer Whale Clicks to Explore Ecotype-Specific Detectors

The Salish Sea contains many shipping routes frequently used by the endangered Southern Resident killer whales (SRKW). To protect the declining population of SRKW, current efforts are focused on limiting encounters between SRKW and vessels. To acoustically locate SRKW in the Salish Sea, detectors must be capable of distinguishing SRKW and Bigg’s killer whale vocalizations. […]
