The University of Toronto along with the Hospital for Sick Children and the University Health Network (UHN) are partners in the newly formed Ted Rogers Center for Heart Research. It’s mandate is to bring together research, education and innovation in personalized genomic medicine, stem cell research, bioengineering, and cardiovascular treatment and management, with the goal to improve heart health across a person’s entire lifespan.

Congratulations to Professor Milica Radisic, who is among three U of T researchers who will be inducted into the Royal Society of Canada’s new College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists – an initiative that recognizes the emerging generation of Canadian intellectual leaders.

We raised $1785.00!  Most of our team of 6 rode 75 km in support of the ride this year. We were treated well as the organization is looking to reach out towards researchers. We were part of a special group of Riding for Research in which Dr. Craig Simmon’s lab also participated. After the ride Aric and  Miles were interviewed by the Ride for Heart internal news team which was broadcast inside the VIP and corporate area.
We hope you all join us next year!

Congratulation to Dr. Milica Radisic  is presented with an E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship by His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada.  Only six Steacie Fellowships are offered by NSERC each year.
