Policy Innovation – CIGI

CIGI aims to address the lack of knowledge relating to regulations and decision-making of emerging dual-use technology. This initiative will focus on quantum technologies as a case-study. There is a need for knowledge-building, knowledge-translation and innovation to advance a technology-dynamics perspective in forming decisions on emerging dual-use technology (quantum). To address this need, CIGI proposes three Policy Innovation Assistants to support the CIGI team dedicated to leading this initiative. This includes analytical, knowledge development and engagement support to CIGI’s Research Director, Transformative Technologies.

ESROP – KMUTT – Hybrid LSTM-GRU Architecture with Adaptive Attention for Financial Data

This research project focuses on using advanced machine learning techniques to better predict stock prices, specifically targeting stocks from the S&P 500. By combining powerful deep learning methods—such as LSTM and GRU networks—with adaptive attention mechanisms inspired by Transformer models, the project aims to create forecasting systems that can dynamically adapt to changing market conditions, like sudden increases in volatility or shifts between bull and bear markets. Currently, traditional models struggle when markets behave unpredictably, leading to less accurate forecasts. The new approach developed through this project could improve forecasting accuracy, helping financial institutions and researchers manage risk and make better-informed investment decisions. For both participating institutions—KMUTT and the University of Toronto — this collaboration will enhance their expertise in quantitative finance, encourage further research, and support the adoption of innovative AI-driven financial modeling techniques.

Identification of novel immunomodulators from Heligmosomoides bakeri

Parasitic worms make molecules that block their hosts immune responses, leading to chronic infections. The molecules, called immunomodulators, block immune responses to the worms themselves and have more general effects on the immune system. A small number have been characterised and can interfere with different immune pathways. Research is ongoing to develop them for managing diseases where the immune system is dysregulated such as in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which affects over 300,000 Canadians but has limited treatment options.
I will synthetize and screen proteins produced by the parasite Heligmosomoides bakeri, to identify new immunomodulators. The Finney lab (UCalgary) has created a set of ‘omic’ tools to characterise the genes expressed in H. bakeri. Using these tools, I have created a list of putative immunomodulators. The McSorley lab (University of Dundee) are experts at producing and screening parasitic worm proteins for potential immunomodulatory function. During my visit, I will produce and test my curated list. I will return to the Finney lab to set up and test the McSorley lab assays, creating an immunomodulator discovery pipeline in Canada. My research has the potential to generate innovative, effective therapies for patients with dysregulated immune responses, strengthening Canada’s role in immunotherapy development.

Visualisation et quantification des ROS et de l’apoptose dans des microtumeurs 3D

L’objectif du projet est de mettre au point des méthodes de visualisation par microscopie confocale laser l’intensité du stress oxydant ainsi que les zones d’induction d’apoptose dans des cellules cancéreuses perméabilisées. Les cellules cancéreuses qui seront étudiées sont des cellules de carcinome colorectal humaines de la lignée HCT116 provenant de American Type Culture Collection. Ce projet permettra d’étudier et d’identifier en partie les mécanismes qui permettent à certains types d’oméga-3 d’induire l’apoptose à l’intérieur de certaines cellules cancéreuses et ainsi ralentir ou prévnir le développement de tumeures. La modulation de la structure et des fonctions mitochondriales (la mitochondrie est le principal inducteur de l’apoptose) par une approche nutritionelle ou pharmaceutique constitue une stratégie qui suscite beaucoup d’intérêt pour restreindre le dévelppement des temeurs cancéreuses. Le professeur Blier s’est investie depuis plus de 25 ans dans l’étude des fonctions mitochondriales alors que le Dr Fortin développe des ingrédients et des molécules fonctionnelles qui interviennent dans les fonctions mitochondriales et l’évolution des tumeurs cancéreuses. Le stagiaire (M. Rodriguez) ne peut que bénéficier de cette synergie

Étude des stratégies d’écoconception dans les entreprises manufacturières de Sherbrooke comme levier dans leur transition socio écologique

La Ville de Sherbrooke s’est dotée d’une vision de développement économique qui aspire notamment à une communauté durable et innovante. Ainsi, le Service du développement économique (SDE) de la Ville vise à accélérer la transition écologique des entreprises sherbrookoises pour réduire leur empreinte sur l’environnement et pour augmenter leur compétitivité sur le marché.

Le SDE a lancé en 2024 un projet de recherche visant à identifier des solutions pour que les entreprises manufacturières de son territoire adoptent des stratégies d’écoconception. La phase 1 du projet de recherche se déroule à l’hiver 2025 où une équipe d’étudiants à la maîtrise du CUFE de l’UdeS a pour mandat de réaliser un portrait de la situation sur l’écoconception dans un contexte d’entreprise manufacturière sur le territoire de Sherbrooke. L’objectif principal de la phase 2 du projet qui fait l’objet de cette demande Mitacs est d’identifier et de structurer des mandats relatifs à l’écoconception pour les entreprises du secteur industriel et technologique à Sherbrooke.

Ultimement, le but de cette démarche est d’illustrer aux entreprises manufacturières la valeur de la création d’emplois structurants et du déploiement de ressources en écoconception pour leur développement et pour réduire leurs impacts socioécologiques.
