Processus d’implantation d’AToM

Nous effectuerons l’implantation d’une plateforme de description archivistique en ligne nommée AToM . Ce projet enclenchera une transition qui obligera l’organisme à développer de nouvelles procédures de traitement de l’information, allant de l’acquisition de documents jusqu’à leur diffusion. Le projet nous offrira l’occasion d’élaborer et d’instaurer des stratégies visant à traiter l’information de manière conforme aux normes archivistiques et adaptée aux besoins de l’organisme. Lorsque la plateforme sera opérationnelle, l’organisme prévoit acquérir des archives nées numériques de différents formats. Nous aurons ainsi la possibilité de réfléchir à des enjeux encore peu explorés dans le milieu archivistique québécois et de relever de nouveaux défis liés à l’émergence de nouvelles technologies.

Effect of influenza vaccination with high-doseantigen on geriatric population

Vaccination is an important preventive measure against influenza infection during both seasonal epidemics and pandemic outbreaks. This research aims to evaluate the health benefits and costs associated with a new vaccine developed by Sanofi for seasonal influenza. This vaccine provides better efficacy and higher protection for individuals over 65 years of age. The vaccine is expected to reduce severe illness and hospitalization in this age group. We apply an important methodology, namely mathematical and computational techniques, to determine the effectiveness and costsbenefits of vaccination. The results will be used to determine whether the use of this vaccine for nursing homes would be beneficial, given that the costs of producing this new vaccine is higher than the standard seasonal vaccines. The outcomes will inform vaccination policies and improve practices for reducing the burden of influenza infection in the geriatric population.

Acceleration of Variational Quantum Eigensovler via Qubit Efficient encoding results

The electronic structure problem is the key for material and drug designs. Solving it accurately using quantum mechanical methods on regular classical computers leads to algorithms whose execution time grows exponentially with the system size (e.g., number of electrons and nuclei in molecules). Emerging technology of quantum computing recently provided a new hope to solve this problem efficiently. Yet, the new quantum hardware requires new algorithms. Currently, one of the most practical algorithmic frameworks for solving the electronic structure problem on a quantum computer: is the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). Two main challenges in the VQE framework are 1) quantum state preparation and 2) quantum measurement. In this proposal, we will address the first problem because it creates a computational bottleneck for VQE use in industrial applications related to developing better pharmaceutical compounds and catalysts.

Impact d’un enrichissement en deutérium sur la croissance de microalgues

Toutes pathologies humaines incluent une réponse inflammatoire dont le déclenchement et la résolution dépendent de réactions cellulaires et moléculaires complexes. Une inflammation incontrôlée est cependant souvent synonyme de cancers et de maladies dégénératives et chroniques. Le dynamisme du métabolisme inflammatoire couplé à l’immense diversité de molécules impliquées rend difficile la compréhension mécanistique de l’ensemble. Pour moduler la réponse inflammatoire, l’organisme emploie une multitude de molécules qu’il transforme pour produire de puissants messagers chimiques qui permettent une communication cellulaire efficace. Tracer l’origine et le devenir de ces messagers offrirait une vision dynamique de certaines pathologies en plus de renseigner sur les mesures de prise en charge nécessaires. L’enrichissement en isotopes stables peut offrir ce genre de précision, mais la disponibilité de composés d’intérêts enrichis demeure le principal facteur limitant. La spécificité du projet repose donc sur l’usage de microalgues comme usine biologique pour produire de telles biomolécules. L’ajout au milieu de culture de nutriments riches en isotopes stables permet ainsi la production de biomolécules elles-mêmes marquées. Après extraction puis purification, ces composés pourront être employés en recherche biomédicale. L’objectif de cette collaboration internationale MITACS est donc de pouvoir optimiser ce bioprocédé pour favoriser la productivité de nos microalgues en composés marqués.

The mitoGENE risk for psychiatric diseases: From French cohorts to Canadian mitochondrial expertise

Mental disorders make up 25.3% and 33.5% of all years lived with a disability in low-and middle-income countries, respectively (WHO). Mental illness and mental health problems cost the Canadian economy $51 billion annually in healthcare costs, lost productivity, and reduced quality of life (Canadian Mental Health Association). This socioeconomic burden is partly due to the misdiagnosis and treatments that are only efficient on subgroups of patients. In this line, the project will allow the development of a supplementary tool for diagnostic and patient stratification: the MitoGene Risk Score. Mitochondria are organelles known to generate cellular ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, and have been implicated in numerous psychiatric disorders. Since those disorders have an important genetic background, we propose a ground-breaking method: the convolutional neural network-based mitochondrial polygenic risk scores.

Comment opérationnaliser la mobilité interne à la Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec

Dans le cadre de son programme de développement de la relève, la Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec souhaite faciliter la mobilité à l’interne pour les employés à potentiel de relève (EPR). Cela dit, lorsqu’un EPR est muté d’un département à un autre afin d’aller y relever de nouveaux défis, il laisse derrière lui une équipe désormais incomplète, laquelle devra combler le poste vacant par une autre ressource. Or, où recruter cette nouvelle ressource? À l’interne ou à l’externe? En d’autres mots, comment doit-on opérationnaliser ces rotations de postes pour qu’elles soient efficaces, aisément réalisables et qu’elles obtiennent facilement l’aval des gestionnaires impliqués, lesquels peuvent se sentir dépourvus lorsqu’ils perdent une ressource de choix? En premier lieu, le projet consistera à étudier ces questions à l’aide d’une revue de littérature. Puis, les meilleures pratiques dans différentes industries seront documentées. Suite à cette investigation, des recommandations et des propositions de différents scénarios seront formulées dans un rapport.
