Le droit peine à se développer pour répondre aux enjeux multiples et diversifiés que pose le développement rapide des enjeux et des moyens mobilisés par la cybercriminalité et la protection des renseignements personnels. Dans ce contexte, les stages envisagés visent à tirer avantage de l’expertise de pointe développée par l’organisme partenaire pour développer un programme […]

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) it is an immunochemical test that utilizes an enzyme (a protein that facilitates a biochemical reaction) and an antibody or antigen (immunologic molecules) to detect and quantify specific substances in a biological solution. The development of an ELISA protocol presents several challenges, however. For example, ELISA technology currently is developed largely […]

The milling oats in Canada are good sources of both dietary fibers and plant proteins. Currently the majority of Canadian oats is used as animal feed. Finding new sources of plant proteins and fibers or valorizing the existing ones is necessity to obtain sustainable and healthy food products. Even though oat lacks some essential amino […]

Ce projet consiste à offrir un accès public d’une infrastructure en communication quantiques, constituée d’une […]

The Chokka Center for Integrative Health is dedicated to develop an innovative and integrative approach to help patients achieve optimal mental health. Mental illness is the leading cause of disability in the world. Diagnosing mental health syndromes have proved challenging for clinicians. But it is essential to screen and diagnosis early to achieve symptom remission […]

L’objectif de mon projet de recherche sera de faire ressortir les similitudes et les disparités concernant les recommandations de remboursements entre les agences d’évaluation des technologies de la santé au Canada (l‘INESSS pour le Québec et l’ACMTS pour l’ensemble des autres provinces) en fonction des différents champs thérapeutiques. Ce projet de recherche sera très pertinent […]

La photogrammétrie est une technique de modélisation où on utilise plusieurs images prises tout autour d’un sujet afin de le reconstituer en 3D. Parfois, les conditions de capture influencent la qualité de la reconstruction 3D : des obstacles obstruent certains points de vue, l’éclairage est mauvais, etc. De plus, quand le sujet est difficile d’accès, […]

There is a pressing need for studies centered on the impact assessment of emerging wood preservatives and the remediation of orphaned sites. The present proposal describes a dual-purpose research project. The project aims to; (i) apply a modified in situ chemical oxidation technique for the removal of pentachlorophenol (Penta) and creosote compounds in orphaned sites […]

Biofilms are clusters of bacterial cells that grow together on a surface. Biofilms are often associated with infections (~65%) but they are exceedingly difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics and there are currently no biofilm-specific treatments available on the market. Some common biofilm-associated infections include skin and sinus infections as well as infections associated with […]

Mental illnesses, particularly depression, are one of the leading causes of global disease burden. In addition to reducing the quality of life of patients and their relatives, they costs billions of dollars annually to the Canadian economy. Unfortunately, current antidepressant drugs are barely satisfactory and have numerous side-effects. The goal of this project is to […]

The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. Motivated by these circumstances, Net Zero Atlantic is building an […]

Half of all cancer patients receive radiotherapy, and of this group 15% will develop a tissue injury, or side effect, from the treatment. At present, however, there are no reliable methods for predicting a patient’s response to radiation therapy. We have studied mice with different genetic make ups and determined that there are certain genes […]
