We are looking for skilled workers to help strengthen the Canadian economy and address labour shortages in key sectors.

Here are the Express Entry categories where we are seeking experienced professionals to compliment our workforce:
• medical doctors, researchers and senior managers with Canadian work experience
• health care and social services professionals
• tradespersons
• educators
• professionals in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) occupations
• professionals in transport occupations
• workers with French-language proficiency

@MarionKoopmans The full genomes sequence of circulating strains, which I believe are already available should be sufficient the design of qPCR primers or for isothermal polymerase amplification. This approach could be employed while waiting for other antigen base rapid diagnostic testing.

The Ebola outbreak in DRC has some serious red flag warnings. See below. And very problematic: the most commonly used test platform in the region cannot pick up this strain. That is a big handicap.

wow as of may 2025, there are 513 cancer vaccines in development, with 33 in phase 3 @NatRevDrugDisc

Another huge medical achievement from our very own @UHN 🇨🇦🔥

A Toronto man lived with HIV for 27 years. Then he got leukemia and that diagnosis may have just cured him of both.

His doctors found a bone marrow donor carrying CCR5-Δ32, a rare mutation in ~1% of people of European descent. HIV hijacks immune cells through the CCR5 receptor. If you don't have it, the virus has no door.

The transplant replaced his entire immune system with one HIV can't infect.

He stopped antiretroviral therapy in July 2025. As of today, HIV is undetectable by the most sensitive assays available. No viral reservoir. No immune response to HIV. Nine months clean.

He would be the 11th person in history to possibly be cured of HIV.

HIV cure is possible. We just proved it again at @UHN

Proud of the team at @UHN and @UofT !

@simonmaechling Hi 👋 nice to meet you all on this platform

[Emmanuel K Tsinda, PhD @kagningemmanuel]

This is an impressive milestone in AI-driven computational biology !!!

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells. 

With more preclinical and clinical tests, this discovery may reveal a promising new pathway for developing therapies to fight cancer.

🇺🇸 8 YEARS LATER, DOCTORS FINALLY TELL PARENTS: FEED YOUR BABY PEANUTS

A new study just confirmed what we’ve known since 2015: early peanut exposure can slash a child’s allergy risk by up to 80%.

But despite national guidelines in place since 2017, most pediatricians still haven’t been bothering to mention it - until researchers handed them cheat sheets, video tutorials, and prompts inside their own medical records.

With that minimal nudge, pediatricians actually started doing their jobs: 84% gave the correct advice, up from a sad 35%.

Reminder: food allergies are rising, and this one simple move could save lives - if doctors can remember to bring it up between diaper chats and growth charts.

In a world with so much ups and downs, It makes sense to rely on hope, positive thinking to keep finding solutions for a better world.
