Conducting research in an Indigenous context requires cultural sensitivity and knowledge of this environment, but also to develop a collaborative and open approach that often transcends our ways of doing things in an academic setting.
Sentinel North begins 2021 with the funding of 14 new projects that will enrich its collaborative research program aimed at improving our understanding of the northern environment and its impact on humans and their health.
Congratuations to all recipients of Sentinel North excellence scholarships and fellowships of the Fall 2020 competition! Their highly innovative research projects will be a great contribution to Sentinel North's research program.
Of the 10 discoveries of the year 2020 according to Québec Science magazine, two are from Université Laval teams participating in the Sentinel North strategy.
A team led by André Marette has revealed a distinct bacterial signature in people with type-2 diabetes, an important breakthrough that will allow further research on this disease.
Achim Randelhoff's work shows that phytoplankton continues to grow even during winter in the Arctic, despite the almost total absence of light. This discovery opens up new avenues for the study of the marine food chain.
