In 2012, we witnessed not only key scientific breakthroughs in a number of diseases and treatment therapies, we also celebrated special moments like the appointments of some of our scientists to the Order of Canada and the Royal Society of Canada - moments which continue to show the world why the Lunenfeld is the place to be for award-winning scientists who are transforming the way we care for our patients.
Over the past year, Lunenfeld scientists made leading-edge discoveries in the prevention, detection and treatment of a variety of conditions and disorders, including cancer, kidney disease, women and infants’ health, and neurodegenerative disorders. Here are a few of our biggest highlights from 2012.
