A Canada-Wide Technology Platform For Mapping The Human Interactome
On June 18, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) announced the award of $9.16 million for the creation of a national technology platform aimed at mapping the human interactome. This national platform, headed by Dr. Benoit Coulombe from the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montrçİal (IRCM), will not only provide Canadian researchers with new state-of-the-art equipment in proteomics, functional genomics and bioinformatics, but also bring together integrated infrastructure for deciphering the human interactome an expertise that, until now, has been spread in 12 universities across Canada.

An End To Inequalities Will Further Boost Heart Surgery Survival Rates, Says British Heart Foundation

In response to the publication of Demonstrating Quality: The Sixth National Adult Cardiac Surgical Database Report (1) which examined outcomes for adult cardiac patients British Heart Foundation (BHF) Associate Medical Director Dr Mike Knapton said: "This report shows that patients have increasingly better chances of survival following cardiac surgery even though the people undergoing these operations are more likely to be older and sicker. "However, while demonstrating a high quality of care and progress, it also highlights variations in access to aortic valve surgeries in England. Local healthcare providers need to urgently investigate why this is. "If we are to tackle these inequalities and meet the needs of an increasingly elderly and obese population we need a robust strategy to meet the future demand for cardiac surgery. The BHF is part of the Cardio and Vascular Coalition which is calling for a planned approach to cardiovascular provision in the coming decade."
