Congratulations to Manupa Dissanayake, student in McMaster University’s Master of Biomedical Innovation (MBI) program, on being the inaugural recipient of the Dr. Alan Neville Legacy Award for Innovation Leadership and Impact.

Created in honour of founding program director and professor emeritus Alan Neville, the annual award recognizes a graduating MBI student who demonstrates leadership, innovation, collaboration and generosity, while making a lasting contribution to the program and McMaster’s broader health innovation community.

A promising idea can be the beginning of an innovation journey. But bringing it to life often depends on something less visible: the people willing to share their experience, challenge an assumption or offer encouragement when the path ahead is unclear. That spirit is at the heart of the Dr. Alan Ne...

Plants and fungi are packed with molecules that could one day become new medicines, but many occur in such small quantities that studying them at scale has been nearly impossible — until now.

In a new study out of McMaster University, researchers have developed a novel chemistry technology that allows scientists to efficiently make lab-created copies of some of nature’s most sought-after molecules, a discovery that could accelerate broad drug development efforts.

Men with prostate cancer have a high risk of heart disease, especially when treated with hormone therapy.

A large international, first-of-its-kind study led by Hamilton researchers found that routine referrals to an internist or cardiologist improved cholesterol levels, but did not lead to fewer heart attacks, strokes, heart failure or cardiovascular deaths.
