More than just a cardboard box

Canada Foundation for Innovation

By Malorie Bertrand The powerful allure of cardboard for children is well known to any parent who has witnessed their child’s delight at putting a box on his or her head — rather than playing with the expensive gift that was in said box. So it should come as no surprise that this sturdy paper product has found its way into the hands of researchers who use it to construct affordable and accessible toys and adaptations for children with disabilities. Jason Nolan, director of the Experiential

Practicing neuro-surgery in virtual reality makes operations safer

Brain surgery is a delicate science and each instance is completely different from the last, because each person and their condition are entirely unique. A single wrong move could be devastating and things get even more complicated when it comes to tumours. But the National Research Council aims to change the way brain surgeries are conducted through methods of practice that are specific to each patient’s brain. The problem with studying a patient’s MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) results is

From mobile labs to Ebola vaccines: How the National Microbiology Laboratory did it all

From mobile labs to Ebola vaccines: How the National Microbiology Laboratory did it all

In 2001 suspicious mail showed up in New Brunswick. People feared that it may have been laced with anthrax like the letters being sent to congressional offices in the USA at the time. No one wanted to move the mail all the way to the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, so scientists had to rush out with all their equipment on hand. NML took inspiration from this and considered a solution that had equipment on-the-go. Analyzing a sample takes long enough as it is, and having to move the

How X-Rays can increase the likelihood of down syndrome in babies

How X-Rays can increase the likelihood of down syndrome in babies

Pregnant women should only undergo x-rays when it’s absolutely necessary. Seems like common sense, doesn’t it? But this wasn’t always the case. In fact, this seemingly simple fact wasn’t considered until the work of a Japanese-Canadian scientist: the late Dr. Irene Uchida. Uchida was the first to link radiation exposure in women to birth abnormalities with their babies in the 1950’s. This was especially the case in pregnant women given that the radiation was directly affecting the unborn child

Cellular reception: finding a cure for cancer through genetic immunology

Cellular reception: finding a cure for cancer through genetic immunology

Despite modern medicine and continuous research, diseases like HIV/AIDS and cancer are still taking victims. But significant progress has been made right here in Canada to one day find a method of stopping the diseases from growing in our bodies to begin with. An invaluable contributor to this goal is Tak Wah Mak, a Chinese-Canadian scientist who discovered the T-cell receptor, pioneered the study of genetics in relation to immunology and continues to make great strides in biochemistry to this

Synthesizing Insulin in Canada

Synthesizing Insulin in Canada

Synthesized insulin is a hormone used by 300 million people around the world to treat diseases like diabetes. But few people know that it was first recreated in our nation’s capital by the late Indo-Canadian scientist, Dr. Saran Narang. To do this, Narang and his team at the National Research Council used a process called recombinant DNA. DNA is a complex molecule that serves as instructions for cells to create proteins in an organism. Since all life is composed of proteins, DNA acts as
