Innovative
Technologies In Multidisciplinary Health Research
Training

MICROSCOPY, OPTICS AND Imaging
We are glad to announce our next
workshops in November. The first workshop is on
"Microscopy, Optics and Imaging" (Beginner level
workshop). It will take place in Winnipeg
(Manitoba) from November 13-17, 2017
The second workshop is on "3D and
Spectral Imaging" (Intermediate level workshop).
It will take place in Winnipeg (Manitoba) from
November 20-24, 2017

Our Vision:
To develop a multidisciplinary training program
in health research with a focus on emerging
innovative technologies.
The ITMHRT program will be multinational,
multidisciplinary (encompasses 13 training topics)
and industry-involved. Strong basic and clinical
science coupled with enthusiasm and creativity
will nurture the development of researchers and
clinicians who will bring about new discoveries
and innovation in health research.
Excellence In Three Areas:
The proposed Training Program promotes excellence
in three areas: (1) novel cutting edge molecular
imaging and analysis technologies and the
development thereof, (2) whole genome analyses
through microarray technology, and (3) functional
genomics.
Trainees completing this integrated approach
will have the skill sets to impact on many diverse
fields, such as advanced molecular imaging,
cancer, genetics, patient-based research,
neurodegenerative disease, genomics, apoptosis,
signal transduction, intracellular investigations,
and development of new technologies and
treatments.

Three Programs For Research & Training
The ITMHRT program enables interested candidates
to participate at three different levels. All
training opportunities offer varying degrees of
supportive funding, dependent on the candidate's
qualification and need.
1. Intensive workshops 1-2 week workshops,
held periodically throughout the year.
Candidates interested in the Intensive training
workshops can find information on upcoming
workshops as well as application guidelines at www.itmhrt.ca/workshops.html
2. Short-term program. Graduate and
Post-doctoral training opportunities with ITMHRT
mentors.
3. Long-term program. Graduate and
Post-doctoral training opportunities with ITMHRT
mentors.
Those interested in short or long-term training
collaborations are asked to examine the list of
mentors associated with ITMHRT and apply to the
program with a specific mentor in mind.

15th Anniversary Celebration
On June 13, 2014, the GCCRD celebrated its' 15th
anniversary with an all-day symposium with
international guest speakers discussing imaging
technologies, advancements in cellular imaging and
diagnostics.
