Students in one Dal lab are learning from one another, across disciplines, as they try and better understand childhood cancers with the aid of an unlikely accomplice: the tropical zebrafish.

Researchers at Dalhousie and Mount Saint Vincent universities have been awarded $1.5 million from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research that will help with the development an earlier, more definitive way of diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease.

Through a network called BRIC NS — Building Research for Integrated Primary Health Care, Nova Scotia — Dal researchers are mobilizing health-care professionals, managers, policy makers, learners and citizens in research to re-shape the delivery of care.

Aided by Dal faculty member Sarah Stewart-Clark and the Aquatron research facility, a collaborative effort organized by the Aquaculture Association of Nova Scotia is working to help rebuild a 100-year-old industry in the province.

Debbie Martin of Dal’s Faculty of Health Professions receives Training Grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to expand research capacity, skills and career trajectories of Indigenous early career researchers and trainees.
