🚨 NEW: One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever (28 MILLION people in France) just dropped.

Results?
• 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19
• 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality
• No increase in 4-year mortality

COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination and 4-Year All-Cause Mortality Among Adults in France This cohort study uses the data from all adults aged 18 to 59 years living in France on November 1, 2021, to evaluate whether there is an association of receipt of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine with long-t...

• Vaccinated people had lower risk of death from any cause.
In short: mRNA vaccines weren’t just safe — they were protective across the board. 🔥📉 shorturl.at/GcZeK #EMSky

Introducing Cancer Trials Canada - a new website to make it easier than ever to find cancer clinical trials happening across Canada.

Clinical trials test new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer. They help advance research that can lead to better care and save lives.

new Lai lab paper @natsmb.nature.com! Dicer is specifically mutated in cancer, but we don't fully understand its molecular/reg impacts. with @danweihuangfu.bsky.social, we characterized the first knockin Dicer hotspot in hESCs, and found unexpected defects in miRNA biogenesis! 🧬 1/4

Opinion: How much are MPs entitled to know about research grants? Not as much as they think A parliamentary committee is asking for academics’ private information on a strange anti-DEI crusade

How much are MPs entitled to know about research grants? Not as much as they think. A parliamentary committee is asking for researchers' personal information in what seems like an anti-DEI crusade, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

The Canadian government has seemingly never read a single one of its own commissioned reports on what Canadian science needs. (It's not more people.)

don't miss this session folks

I have a prerecorded advocacy focused talk and three of my colleagues have their talks

Young folks (younger than 50 yrs of age) are showing a rise in certain cancer's rates, which is alarming

It is global and we have work to do

#Advocacy #YoungCancerPatients

Cancer cases registered differently in most provinces in 🇨🇦 but Dr Craig Earle and CPAC have converted 900 hr manual curation to <1 hour using AI methods! #CCRC2025

Impressive talk from Dr Marco Marra that shows the promise of precision oncogenomics that builds from BC cancer to @marathonofhope.bsky.social 🇨🇦wide program #CCRC2025

Masterclass in session with Dr Nada Jabado who has led efforts to understand oncohistone mechanisms and potential treatments for pediatric cancers #CCRC2025 @ccralliance.bsky.social

Forgot to shout out Dr Brad Nelson and just team including patient partners

Some exciting updates on made in Canada cell therapies for solid tumours and blood cancers (much lower cost than SOC). 🇨🇦 researchers competing very well in this space @ccralliance.bsky.social @biocanrx.bsky.social

Very interesting talk on revving up macrophages responses using a treatment with IL33 in Glioblastoma models by Dr Donna Senger
#CCRC2025

Great progress shared by Dr Barb Vanderhyden to improve immunotherapy options for ovarian cancer using mouse models, several promising lines of study 👏#CCRC2025

Congrats on your award for leading patient engagement in cancer research @savaslab.bsky.social #CCRC2025

Fantastic to see Dr Vanderhyden recognized for amazing service to cancer research in Canada @ccralliance.bsky.social #CCRC2025

Fantastic choice of Dr Jabado for outstanding achievements in cancer research @ccralliance.bsky.social #CCRC2025

A fantastic way to remember Phil Branton and recognize cancer research leaders👏👏👏. Congrats Dr Friedenreich #CCRC2025

Delighted that SCRI can support #CCRC2025 program planned by @ccralliance.bsky.social
Looking forward to some exciting science and meeting great colleagues @sinclaircri.bsky.social

Great to be here and exciting to learn that it is the largest number of participants ever!
