Today I visited the University Health Network, part of the #2 Life Sciences Hub in the WORLD! (Did you know Toronto General is the #3 general hospital in the world, and only public hospital, and Sick Kids is the #1 children’s hospital) Thanks to Doctors Brad Wouters, David Krish, Luke Brzozowski, Rebecca Wong, Julia Publicover, Ur Metser and Patrick van Heibach who shared the incredible work being done at University Health Network on Radioisotopes and Theranostics. We toured the cyclotron facility and it really is exceptional. Canada is positioned to be number one in the world, and people like those I met today will be the leaders to continue to bring us there. Thanks to everyone for your time and sharing your expertise today.
