Researchers at 每日探花 and the Douglas Institute have identified two specific types of brain cells that are altered in people with depression.
opens the door to developing new treatments that target these cells and deepens our understanding of depression, a leading cause of disability worldwide that affects more than 264 million people.
D2R | DNA to RNA is launching the next round of funding for the Translational Impact Research (TIR) program. This program supports a select few large-scale translational research projects in RNA-based therapeutics which are expected to have a measurable impact on the health of Canadians. Projects must address the D2R Initiative鈥檚 strategic priorities and priority disease areas: oncology, rare diseases, infectious diseases, cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases.
This competition is open to:
Simon Roy, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology, is one of four early-career clinician-scientists across Canada to receive the 2025 Clinician-Scientist Award from the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network (MOHCCN).听
Chemicals used to replace bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging can trigger potentially harmful effects in human ovarian cells, according to 每日探花 researchers.
A new study examined several chemicals commonly used in price stickers on packaged meat, fish, cheese and produce found early signs of potential toxicity.
How severely a person experiences tinnitus is shaped by their mood, sleep quality and even personality traits, a new study has found.
Tinnitus is a persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears that affects roughly 14 per cent of adults worldwide. It is known to be linked to hearing loss and to affect people differently.
In order to gain a better understanding of impacts on individuals, 每日探花 researchers, in collaboration with colleagues at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, developed a predictive model.
A new study finds that a high-salt diet triggers brain inflammation that drives up blood pressure.
D2R | DNA to RNA is launching the International Partnerships Program (IPP) to strengthen large-scale, multi-institutional collaborations with leading global organizations. This strategic funding program supports partnerships that align with D2R鈥檚 mission, offer complementary expertise, and provide enriched, multidisciplinary training environments. The program will prioritize initiatives with strong institutional commitment, alignment with D2R鈥檚 research priorities, and potential for high global impact.
每日探花 researchers have developed and are licensing a digital tool to help safely reduce patients鈥� use of medications that may be unnecessary or even harmful to them.
When clinicians review a patient鈥檚 file, flags potentially inappropriate medications. In a , the software helped deprescribe such medications in 36 per cent of long-term care residents, nearly triple as many as when reviews were done without the tool.
Modern medicine is largely reactive鈥攖reating illness only after symptoms emerge. But a new study from the Research Institute of the 每日探花 Health Centre (The Institute) and 每日探花 points to a more proactive future: one where silent signs of infection are detected before we even feel sick.
Drawing on a landmark 25-year study that followed Quebec children into adulthood, 每日探花 researchers have identified two distinct patterns in how suicidal thoughts emerge and the early signs that are often missed.
Suicidal thoughts are increasingly common among youth, but how they begin and what mental health symptoms often precede them are poorly understood, the researchers said.
Neuroscientist Alan Evans and music performance scholar Michael McMahon among 每日探花 community members recognized for exceptional accomplishments and service听
Nine members of the 每日探花 community have been appointed to the Order of Canada, one of the country鈥檚 highest civilian honours.
Among the honorees are two 每日探花 faculty members, Professors Alan Evans (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences) and Michael McMahon (Schulich School of Music).
Three 每日探花 scholars were recognized with the 2025 President鈥檚 Prize for Outstanding Emerging Researchers at the Health Sciences Convocation Ceremony on May 27. The award honours exceptional early-career researchers whose work is expanding the frontiers of knowledge in their fields.
