BACKGROUND
The Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) established a series of resource-stratified, evidence-based guidelines to address breast cancer control in the context of available resources. Here, the authors describe methodologies and health system prerequisites to support the translation and implementation of these guidelines into practice.

Le CRIEM warmly congratulates Harold Bérubé, Mary Anne Poutanen, Nik Luka, and Julie Ravary-Pilon for receiving grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)!
Project title : "Lire la ville à travers ses journaux : Montréal et sa presse à grand tirage (1884-1929)"
In these times of physical distancing, the public sphere is going digital and becoming a space of solidarity to which CIRM hopes to contribute in its own way.

The Neuro’s director has been a driving force in neurological disease research and Open Science leadership
Since 1957, The Gairdner Foundation has been recognizing the achievements of the world’s top researchers for their contributions to health science. This year, Dr. Guy Rouleau joins an elite group of scientists by receiving the Canada Gairdner Wightman Award.
Dialogue McGill is proud to announce that Richard Silver will act as coordinator of Retention Program’s activities with Greater Montreal community networks.
Associated with the McGill Institute for Health and Social Policy (IHSP), the Health Care Access for Linguistic Minorities Network (HCALM-Network) constitutes the research branch of Dialogue McGill. The work of this interdisciplinary and inter-institutional community of researchers is part of a growing movement that aims to better understand the issue of communication between practitioner and patient, as well as its impact on providing healthcare and social services.
Dr. Charles E. Smith continues long-standing collaborative investigations with Dr. James Simmer and Dr. Jan Hu from the University of Michigan about how ameloblasts coordinate their activities to produce the protective enamel covering of teeth as well as flawed responses that occur from these cells when matrix formation/signaling is disrupted by genetic alterations.

CIRM invites you to meet Anna Giaufret, international member and associate professor of the Department of Languages and French and Modern Culture of Université de Gênes. Temporarily in Montreal until November 30th, the researcher will partake in CIRM activities and will pursue her researches on Montreal comic art, a topic on which she is preparing a book for 2020, with the Presse de l’Université Laval.
On October 22nd, Montreal City Council members came to a mutual research agreement between the City and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Montreal (CIRM) for the realization of a project regarding the implementation of the Politique de l’enfant’s five intervention axes “Naître, grandir, s’épanouir à Montréal: de l’enfant à l’adolescence”.
Dr Emily McDonald has organized the 2019 McGill Department of Medicine Clinical Research Symposium on High Value Medical Care that will take place on Friday 15 November in the Research Institute Auditorium, ES1.1129.

My lab has developed a protocol to easily assess the specificity of antibodies—and hopefully stem some of the reproducibility crisis.
Scientists demonstrate flaws in protein detection tools, and outline a solution
A new study points to the need for better antibody validation, and outlines a process that other labs can use to make sure the antibodies they work with function properly.
Antibodies are used in laboratories and clinics to study proteins, which are the biomolecules that translate information from an organism’s genes into the structure, function, and regulation of its tissues and organs. Genetic mutations can cause protein imbalances or malfunctions, leading to human disease.
Congratulations to Lysandre Champagne, CIRM's BMO Doctoral Fellow for 2019-2020, for the reception of a SSHRC PhD Scholarship! Champagne is currently pursuing a research project entitled "Les rapports de genre dans la scène musicale montréalaise émergente" at McGill University's Department of Sociology, under the supervision of Jan Doering.
Around 75 students joined faculty and staff from the Faculty of Science at Thomson House last week to celebrate their experience as undergraduate researchers over the summer.
In his welcoming remarks, Bruce Lennox, Dean of the Faculty of Science, acknowledged the students’ contributions in McGill’s “intense research environments”.
