Our group is building a new medical device aimed at treating neurological disorders. Our team has access to a strong network of research and clinical collaborators that will allow us to deliver an effective […]

Au Québec, mais aussi ailleurs, la crise sanitaire entraîne actuellement une prise de conscience collective sur les systèmes alimentaires en place, ce qui est favorable à l’émergence de solutions innovantes. Les circuits courts et les circuits de proximité sont des innovations territoriales du milieu agroalimentaire qui prônent une commercialisation avec un nombre absent ou réduit […]

La litteratie alimentaire repose sur un ensemble d’attributs incluant les connaissances et les competences alimentaires ainsi que le contexte environnemental menant a des choix alimentaires favorables. Ce concept s’est particulierement developpe dans les programmes en milieu scolaire. Les camps d’ete rassemblant chaque annee des milliers de jeunes, demeurent aussi un environnement propice pour promouvoir les […]

Ignite Athletics Inc. is the partner organization and works with thousands of athletes every year as Coaches in the strength and conditioning field. The goal of the project is to bring together Engineers, Sports Scientists and Strength and Conditioning Coaches to create a device that can easily measure force-time characteristics in a real-world setting. Collection […]

The SDI Group has been a part of the Co op program for the last 13 years. We have supported many students in providing a well rounded experience and mentorship as part of their education. A student being able to be in the field and working directly with the health and safety organization, complements their […]

Les végétaux demeurent de nos jours une source incontournable de molécules bioactives pour le développement d’agents thérapeutiques novateurs. Par contre, l’étude et l’utilisation des molécules d’origine végétale sont souvent limitées par leur manque de solubilité dans l’eau et leur faible biodisponibilité. Pour surmonter ces limitations, l’ajout de groupements polaires sur les molécules appelé dérivatisation est […]

This project is in response to an immediate market opportunity that shows an increasing demand for pulse-based flours as a substitute for animal protein and or for gluten-free diets. A strong red-orange color in products containing lentil flour is a current market demand. We will establish important characteristics in lentil varieties under field conditions, as […]

Skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema are common and cause discomfort in skin lesions. Psoriasis is a chronic disease with cycles of unknown triggers. Currently treatments for psoriasis are very limited. A special bacterium-produced compound called benvitimod has demonstrated effects on treating both psoriasis and eczema by suppressing inflammation and promoting cell migration. However, […]

Renewable energy resources such as wind and solar power are often tied to the grid using dc-ac power-electronic converters. Unlike large power plants, these sources of energy have a dispersed nature, i.e., they are comprised on many small units that are operated in parallel to form a large power plant. This project deals with investigating […]

The development of a clinical decision support system is at the nexus of using data analytic techniques to inform and support dentists in the clinical practice. The purpose of this project is to develop conduct an innovation study to validate the analytic algorithms developed by OraQ for the purposes of facilitating clinical diagnosis. OraQ has […]

This research project aims to program a hand-held spectrometer to identify and analyze gamma radiation peaks emitted from isotopes. Based on the detected peaks, the device will identify the specific isotope from the gamma ray that was emitted. The partner organization will be able to commercialize such a device to be used in different areas […]
