Grants and Contributions

Undertake upgrades to Saqmaw Park

Professional fees: the project aims to develop winter tourism, particularly off-trail snowmobiling on the Monts-Valin, while respecting eco-responsible practices, so that the outfitting community can take advantage of opportunities in the "post-pandemic" market.

Innovation and production activities: The project aims to adapt a fiber optic-based laser micromachining solution to transparent and semiconductor polymers and to acquire production equipment.

The project aims to channel the creativity and the productivity of a new generation of students and young professionals, especially women, to contribute to poverty reduction and inclusive growth within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. More specifically, it seeks to deepen the knowledge and develop practical skills of students or mid-level professionals from the ASEAN region in areas of study that contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Project activities include: (1) the provision of short-term (up to 8 months) scholarships for study/research for ASEAN students in Canadian post-secondary academic institutions in areas of study that are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals; (2) the creation of institutional agreements between Canadian and ASEAN post-secondary academic institutions; (3) the provision of short-term scholarships for ASEAN mid-career professionals working in sectors that contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to enhance their knowledge and skills in their area of work; and (4) the creation of an alumni network.

The current project aims at obtaining relevant data to select the targeted population and clinical biomarkers for the long-term monitoring of efficacy of LPLD gene therapy to support Phase I/II clinical trial design to be proposed to Health Canada at a pre-CTA meeting Definition and validation of the study population and of the main inclusion and exclusion criteria will be performed using data obtained from discussions with Canadian/international experts and from the documentation of the natural history of LPL deficiency, including epigenetic, gene expression and sequencing analyses. The natural history of LPL deficiency, including a panel of critical biomarkers, will become a ‘baseline’ against which to benchmark long-term efficacy of LPLD gene therapy. The analysis and selection of clinical biomarkers will leverage the ongoing research program on the natural history of severe hypertriglyceridemia (SMASH: Systems and Molecular Approaches of Severe Hyperlipidemias) (Table 1). In parallel, the same panel of biomarkers will be monitored in preclinical long-term safety and efficacy study of the lead LPLD gene therapy construct in LPL-/- transgenic mice conducted by UBC. This will provide pre-clinical baseline of potential effect of gene therapy treatment on selected biomarkers representative of the ‘natural’ history of disease in humans. ( Figure 1). Studies above will allow to identify safety and efficacy assessment criteria that will be used in the clinical trial, including the definition of the primary and secondary objectives, as well as to identify all potential concurrent and companion treatments. Finally, socioeconomic study of chylomicronemia and pharmacoeconomic analyses will be performed to position this new gene therapy in relation to the competitive environment and the burden of LPL deficiency
