Université Laval’s Sentinel North program is enabling teams that are advancing our knowledge on the microbiome. As highlighted below, Sentinel North supports novel interdisciplinary research and the deployment of new technologies to shed light on the Arctic environmental microbiome and its impact on human health.

Workshop on research funding and preparing a grand application

Nunavik has been hard hit by thawing permafrost, which has caused extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure, made travel in the region riskier, and limited the hunting, fishing, and gathering activities of its inhabitants.

Sentinel North’s communications initiatives aim to highlight interdisciplinary and innovative research of Université Laval’s teams. The success of the program’s outreach and knowledge dissemination efforts stems from the contributions of an engaged community, high-impact publications, and numerous national and international activities.

A collaboration between several centers and departments of Université Laval and the Natural History Museum of London suggests new avenues to better understand the key role of viruses in Arctic ecosystems. The method used also demonstrates that samples recovered more than 100 years ago can provide new answers using modern genomic tools.

The interdisciplinary collaborations initiated in this project were made possible, in part, by Sentinel North's research program.
