November 2023- McMaster welcomed government leaders to campus this week to celebrate a USD6.8M federal investment in the McMaster Nuclear Reactor (MNR), a leading supplier of cancer-fighting medical isotopes. The investment was announced in June as part of a USD35 million national initiative to create a Canadian Medical Isotope Ecosystem (CMIE) – a pan-Canadian network for medical isotope research and innovation. The funding will be used to expand operations at the reactor, enhancing its capacity for medical isotope research and production of custom isotopes for clinical trials, says Dave Tucker, McMaster's chief nuclear officer and associate vice president of Nuclear. Tucker says that they are experiencing a renaissance in nuclear medicine both at home and abroad. This support from the federal government will ensure that Canada is at the forefront of the rapidly expanding medical isotope sector. He further added that from the McMaster-based Centre for Probe Development & Commercialization (CPDC) to spin-offs like Fusion Pharmaceuticals and AtomVie Global Radiopharma Inc., Hamilton and McMaster are at the core of commercializing new life-saving medical isotopes, creating high-paying jobs in the field and training the next generation of nuclear industry leaders. Pam Damoff, Member of Parliament for Oakville North – Burlington; Lisa Hepfner, MP for Hamilton Mountain; and Chad Collins, MP for Hamilton East – Stoney Creek, attended the announcement.
