Researchers are assaying the genes of a huge sample of Quebeckers in a bold step to advance medical science.

Université Laval professor and medical geneticist Claude Laberge likes to think big – really big – and long-term, too. He is the chief architect of a recently launched survey that proposes to track the health and genetic information of 50,000 Quebeckers, with the resulting data, as well as bloo...

The Black Hole-FR
par DAVID KENT | 21 février 2010

This short blog entry argues that when looking at the relationship or science and society, the majority of scientists only see (and avoid) the energy barrier in front of them and fail to imagine and strive toward the products on the other side. There are of course exceptions to the rule and this article hopes to inspire such visionary thinking. It contends that the products, similar to those in a chemical reaction, will provide a state that will in their own time lead to less energy expenditure for scientists.

A high school geology teacher once explained to me a guiding philosophy for his life which seemed quite confusing at the time – he called it “The least work principle” which stated that one should always aspire to expending the least amount of effort to get an outcome. I thought “Great, I ha...

As China updates its research protocols and Western scientists gain access to huge populations for genetics research, such partnerships are way of the future.

Barely off the plane from China, Xu Wenming is already busy in the laboratory of his new research partner, Quebecer Simon Wing, in the field of experimental genetic medicine at McGill University. Together they will try to unravel the genetic factors behind male infertility, hoping to help explain wh...
