With the Federal Budget announcement, MOHCCN moves closer to helping make precision cancer care accessible across Canada.

As a scientist, physician, and cancer patient, Dr. Catalina López-Correa knows both the challenges and the opportunities ahead.

Photo of Dr. Lopez-Correa with the Terry Fox statue in Ottawa. Followed by the title of the piece "Why I’m so excited about the potential impact of the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network" and this quote: "“For me, as a Latina, breast cancer patient and a scientist, being part of this Network has both professional and deeply personal impacts" says Dr. López-Correa. "I know what inequities in cancer care look like and I also know the hope that comes when science, care, and compassion come together.”

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Mostly genes.
The number of people diagnosed with autism as screening has improved and the definition of autism has been expanded.

Move over eDNA! 🧬 #eRNA technology is now capable of detecting #freshwater organisms in real time. RNA breaks down much faster, but this is its advantage and can provide greater insights into what #biodiversity is present 🌍

How environmental RNA can give us a real-time picture of freshwater biodiversity
Recent studies have demonstrated that eRNA, previously considered too unstable for field use, can be reliably detected in freshwater ecosystems.

We’re excited to reveal the official branding of CS-DCC and AG-ACt, together forming the Climate-Smart Agri-Food Network. Funded by @genomecanada.ca, the Network’s new visual identity clearly reflects our shared mission in agricultural genomics, action, and climate-smart data.
Unveiling Our Network’s New Identity Featuring a leaf for agri-food and sustainability. Green represents balance and environmental resilience. Featuring a lightbulb with filaments for knowledge and collaboration. Purple represents diversity and innovation. Featuring an ascending graph for data and growth. Blue represents trust, stability, and science-based solutions.
