  • Milestone in Canadian Research
    Milestones in Canadian Health Research - CIHR Page 1 of 12 Canadian Institutes of Health Research Canadian health research: saving lives, making history Canada's health researchers have made many life-saving discoveries. From Banting and Best's insulin innovation to today's advancements in health-care delivery, our country has led the way in making the world a healthier place. Take a tour through some of the important milestones in Canadian health research history. Years [ 1920s | 1930s | 1940s | 1950s | 1960s | 1970s | 1980s | 1990s | 2000s ] 1920s "With the relief of the symptoms of his disease, and with the increased strength and vigor resulting from the increased diet, the pessimistic, melancholy diabetic becomes optimistic and cheerful. Insulin is not a cure for diabetes; it is a treatment." Dr. Frederick G. Banting, Nobel Prize Lecture, 1923 1921 Insulin changes lives of diabetics Drs. Banting and Best, Collip and Macleod discover insulin, revolutionizing the treatment of diabetes, and give the Canadian scientific community its first Nobel Prize. 1925 Of hormones and bones Dr. James Collip discovers parathyroid hormone. The discovery increases understanding of how our bodies regulate calcium concentrations and eventually leads to new treatments for osteoporosis. 1930s "Brain surgery is a terrible profession. If I did not feel it will become different in my lifetime, I should hate it." Dr. Wilder Penfield 1930 Feeding babies better Researchers at the University of Toronto announce the creation of Pablum; royalties from its sales still support research at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. 1934 http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/35216.html 7/22/2011 Milestones in Canadian Health Research - CIHR Page 2 of 12 Treating seizures in Montreal Dr.
