Scientist Hub - CanPath - Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health

Researcher Spotlight

Dylan O’Sullivan PhD candidate, Queen’s University

“This is an exciting platform to have as a young researcher. It’s hard to design your own study and apply for a study grant in the timeline of a PhD. CanPath and CIHR secondary data analysis grant competitions gave me the opportunity to do just that. It’s really cool that they have this data. As an emerging researcher, I’ve explored a lot of important scientific questions with the data and I’m happy to have access to CanPath.”

Kim Skead National Scientific Coordinator, CanPath

“CanPath enables scientists to study the causes and contributors to chronic disease and cancer from the cellular level through to society. The platform brings together Canadians and Canadian researchers from all disciplines in a national effort to better predict, detect and treat disease and gives all Canadians a chance at a healthier future.”

Dr. Victoria Kirsh Scientific Associate, Ontario Health Study

“My research is aimed at answering some of the many lingering data gaps about the impact of our diet, our lifestyle and our environment on health. While there have been many triumphs of epidemiology over the years, we’re now at the point where we need data and biospecimens, collected at multiple points in time, from thousands of people in order to better understand the roles of the environment and genetic susceptibility in the development of disease. CanPath is proving to be a rich source of research data and should be so for years to come.”

Dr. Vikki Ho Affiliated Scientist, University of Montreal

“CanPath is an interesting, pan-Canadian resource for health that allows researchers to see the country as a whole in data: where do we stand in certain areas and what are the unique characteristics?”
