WHO ARE THE 2010 NEWSMAKERS ? Pages 6-17 ? ? Centre to push WESTERN innovation into the marketplace WINTERLAND By Paul Mayne f anyone knows the ins and outs of the commercialization SNOW BURIES UNIVERSITY FOR THREE DAYS of imaging technology it’s Aaron Fenster. I As director of the Biomedical Imaging Research Cen- tre and a long-time Robart’s Research Institute scientist, Fenster has spun-off two companies, with the potential for more on the horizon. But despite this success, he under- stands the barriers that can arise along the way for so many researchers, keeping potentially life-changing technology in the lab instead of the marketplace. Through the creation of the Centre for Imaging Technol- ogy Commercialization and Research (CITCR) – in partner- ship with Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto – Fenster and other imaging researchers look to address these barriers which prevent commercialization of imaging technology emerging from Canadian academic institutions, such as The University of Western Ontario. “This is really very exciting,” says Fenster, of the recently announced $27 million centre, which will have a main loca- tion at Western, with a similar centre located at Sunnybrook to be led by Dr. Martin Yaffe. “It is an important component in the pipeline of taking innovations from our labs – what our researchers and stu- dents are doing – all the way into worldwide clinical use.” Western is one of five new Centres of Excellence for Com- mercialization and Research sharing in more than $61.1 mil- lion in federal funding over the next five years. The CITCR will receive $13.3 million in federal money, with another $14 committed from Western, the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, Sunnybrook, Health Technology Exchange and General Electric.
“If you build something on a weak foundation it’s going to crumble. We have many trainees, outstanding researchers, and outstanding facilities that are world class.” - Aaron Fenster
The annual global market for diagnostic medical imaging equipment and software is estimated to be $20.6 billion, and increasing at a rate of four per cent each year. However, sales of imaging equipment from Canadian companies was only $185 million in 2008, representing less than one per cent of the global market and less than two per cent of the U.S. market. Fenster says a strong imaging research foundation is already in place across Ontario, but unfortunately for some potentially life-changing research, the lab is as far is it goes. “The foundation is critical,” he says. “If you build some- thing on a weak foundation it’s going to crumble. We have many trainees, outstanding researchers, and outstanding facilities that are world class.” He continues, “One very special aspect that really stimu- lated this centre is that we began to realize early on that we must commercialize; we must capture our innovations and INSIDE Page 20 Paul Mayne, Western News Continued on page 21

SOUND OF MUSIC
Trying to fit all of the elements of a good composition into an impromptu photo can be challenging. I selected the photo of Gary Kerhoulas and the New Horizons Adult Band as my favourite of the year because of not only composition, but also it was a fun assignment. I enjoy catching moments as the happen – the saxophone players might not have been perfectly in tune (as the adult performers are learning or relearning to play an instrument later in life), but they are perfectly in line for this photo.

BRIGHT IDEA
Ironically, my favourite photo from this past year never actually appeared in Western News, but rather the Faculty of Engineering’s website. It was January when professor Tarlochan Sidhu, Chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was named Hydro One Chair in Power Systems Engineering. Playing on the hydro angle, I arranged to get a portable light bulb to be used as a prop; and to get the best shot, I needed to find a dark area - which ended up being a windowless janitor’s closet. It makes photo shoots a lot of fun when professors are eager to help out in any way. 4 DECEMBER 16, 2010 WESTERN NEWS
The Way We Were: 1948 and 2008
Western News (ISSNO316-8654), a publication of The University of Western Ontario Department of Communications and Public Affairs, is published every Thursday throughout the school year and operates under a reduced schedule during December, May, June, July and August. An award-winning weekly newspaper and electronic news service, Western News serves as the university’s newspaper of record. The publication traces its roots to The University of Western Ontario Newsletter, a one- page leaflet-style publication which debuted on Sept. 23, 1965. The first issue of the Western News, under founding editor Alan Johnston, was published on Nov. 16, 1972 replacing the UWO Times and Western Times. Today, Western News continues to provide timely news, information and a forum for discussion of postsecondary issues in the campus and broader community.

VIVIAN MCALISTER Dr. Vivian McAlister, a professor in the Department of Surgery at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and a general surgeon at the London Health Sciences Centre, not only completed two tours of duty in Afghanistan as a field surgeon over the last couple of years, but earlier this year the major in the Canadian Forces Medical Service travelled to Haiti to join the emergency relief mission organized by 1 Canadian Field Hospital. Operating on a stretcher resting on concrete blocks in an open tent, McAlister provided surgery such as limb amputations in these extraordinarily primitive conditions. There were also two modern operating rooms with full support of diagnostic imaging, laboratory services and critical care.

ADRIAN OWEN While he doesn’t actually begin at The University of Western Ontario until the New Year, the news that Adrian Owen - one of the world’s foremost neuroscientists - would be bringing his remarkable research program from the University of Cambridge was seen across the country a huge catch for Western. Owen generated widespread international attention earlier this year for a study that demonstrated for the first time that some patients in a vegetative state may not only have cognitive thoughts, but can also communicate. As the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Neuroscience and Imaging, Owen will study the cognitive deficits in patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s and ALS.

GREG MARSHALL In his seventh season with the Western Mustangs - and fourth as head coach - Greg Marshall was honored the 2010 Ontario University Athletics Coach of Year award. His consistency as a head coach is tremendous, leading his team to four straight Yates Cup appearances, winning three - including this year’s dramatic 26-25 win over the Ottawa Gee-Gee’s. As a head coach, this was Marshall’s eighth consecutive Yates Cup appearance (four with McMaster from 2000-2003). He won seven of those eight games. The International Federation of American Football named Marshall head coach of the World Team for the annual ‘Team USA’ vs. ‘The World’ match-up, which will be played in Austin, Texas on Feb. 2, 2011.

THE NEGOTIATORS The University of Western Ontario spent a lot of time at the bargaining table in 2010 as seven employee groups had contracts expire or were negotiating their first contract. Leading the way for contract negations for Western’s largest employee groups, faculty association negotiator Mike Dawes and staff association negotiations committee chair and vice-president Stephanie Macleod, helped advert strikes and set the tone for negotiations with other collective bargaining units on campus. Michele Parkin, director, Office of Faculty Relations (not pictured), represented the university through UWOFA’s lengthy negotiations.

By Heather Travis
om Jenkyn held his breath as he watched the Canadian TOlympic women’s curling team sweep across the ice in their first round robin match-up. He had more to stake on their success than a few dollars on a win – his research was being put on the line. The kinesiology and mechani- cal and materials engineering pro- fessor sent about 60 samples of his latest invention – the EQualizer Brush-Heads – to the country’s elite curling athletes at the 2010 Vancou- ver Winter Olympics. The Cana- dian women’s team led by Cheryl Bernard and the men’s team led by Kevin Martin used the brush heads during the Games. “They tell us they can drag rocks further – five to six feet further than they could with regular brooms,” say Jenkyn of the experts lauding the new broom head. “That’s the kind of thing that wins games. “These are things as sports scien- tists we can’t predict, but it’s truly gratifying when the pros come back Heather Travis, Western News and tell us these things – that they Tom Jenkyn is hoping to revolutionize a curler’s sweep with the new EQualizer Brush-Head, which helps melt the ice and slides the rock farther.
