The newly discovered gene variant could contribute to high rates of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in Inuit populations.
Researchers at the CHEO Research Institute and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) have discovered a previously unidentified gene variant that causes Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), which is present in Inuit populations in both Nunavut and N...

From cognitive impairment to heart failure, brain and heart conditions pose one of the world’s biggest health-care challenges, exceeding all others in so-called “disease burden” and mortality rate. In Canada, the economic cost of heart disease, stroke and dementia alone is over $55 billion per year, and rising.

Chemistry professor Adam Shuhendler is most in his element when he’s developing innovative chemical technologies that push the frontiers of molecular imaging and sensing research. Now, thanks to the Dorothy Killam Fellowship, he will be working on chemical probes that provide a clearer picture of how cancers form and spread in our bodies at the molecular level.

“Bonjour, hello!” Two simple, welcoming words can make all the difference at a medical appointment, but is that all there is to the active offer of French-language health care services? Definitely not. You have to take the time to figure out in which official language the person is more comfortable, and, especially, to make every effort to provide the service requested and the necessary resources ...
