New McMaster initiative fosters cross Faculty research teams
Canada's first study on West Nile virus
The University now has several large grants from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research and the U.S. National Institutes for Health to do more work on the infectious disease.
That joint effort is one example of the types of interdisciplinary collaborations being sought by the University's new Collaborations for Health initiative, whose goal is to support the McMaster community in strategically linking excellence in health-related research and education to external health needs.
The Collaborations for Health initiative is being led by Susan Denburg, associate dean, academic, of the Faculty of Health Sciences.
