As part of the ADRIQ 2025 Gala, the Industrial Research Sectoral Groupings (RSRI) Award highlights the strength of collaborations between research institutions and businesses. This award recognizes innovative projects conducted in partnership, which have led to the creation of new products, processes, or technologies, while generating tangible benefits for the participating companies. It also underscores the development of expertise and the training of highly qualified personnel.

Yvan Boutin, a professor at Cégep de Lévis and researcher at TransBIOTech, is awarded this year the Acfas Denise-Barbeau Prize for his contributions in the fields of natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, and health sciences – specifically biomedical dimensions.

The project benefits from a CA$1.5M grant awarded by Médicament Québec (MQ), an initiative supported by the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy (MEIE). MQ's mission is to strengthen Quebec's and Canada's autonomy and dynamism in bioinnovation and bioproduction. The project will be conducted in collaboration with Professor Bruno Gaillet (Laval University), Director of Activities, and TransBIOTech.
