Ontario Invests In Leading-Edge Medical Research McGuinty Government Advances Research With $94-Million Funding Boost

Ontario is taking a new step in the battle against cancer by supporting groundbreaking new genomics and medical research.

The government is investing $94 million to support 31 research projects and more than 300 researchers in seven communities across Ontario. More than half of today's funding will support medical research happening across the province.

Premier Dalton McGuinty announced today that researchers at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute will receive $18.5 million to help move genomics research forward and develop new treatments for cancer that would spare patients the toxic effects of chemotherapy.

The funding will also support numerous projects across the province dealing with basic science and research into information and communications technologies, clean technologies and digital media — all sectors where Ontario has significant strengths.
