Since 1997, the Canada Foundation for Innovation has invested in infrastructure that researchers need to think big, innovate and push the boundaries of knowledge. State-of-the-art research facilities and equipment increase the capability of Canada’s universities, colleges, research hospitals and non-profit research organizations to carry out high-quality research. This, in turn, helps them to attract and retain the world’s top talent, train the next generation of researchers and support world-class research that strengthens the economy and improves the quality of life for all Canadians.

Jacques Genest: Developing new interventions to cure cardiovascular disease
This podcast is only available in French.A researcher at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre studies the link between genetics and cardiovascular disease.In the 1980s, when Jacques Genest (http://rimuhc.ca/web/research-institute-muhc/-/jacques-genest-md-frcpc) was starting out in the Faculty of Medicine, cardiovascular disease was the leading cause of death among Canadians. Dr. Genest and his team built on advances in molecular genetics to discover multiple genes that predispose people to early cardiovascular disease and tested many drugs to fight them. At the McConnell Centre for Innovative Medicine of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (https://muhc.ca/research/dashboard), Dr. Genest continues to study familial hypercholesterolemia using genetic screening to identify other family members at risk of this asymptomatic disease and give them medical treatments to mitigate the danger.READ: Research institute puts Canada at the forefront of health care (https://www.innovation.ca/story/research-institute-puts-canada-forefront-health-care)
