Congratulations to our colleagues at Healthy Future Sask!! With the addition of Healthy Futures Sask, CanPath is represented by regional cohorts in all ten provinces. CanPath is the largest population health cohort study in the country with more than 330,000 participants. Healthy Future Sask will be recruiting 7,000 provincial participants between the ages of 30-74. Read more about Healthy Future Sask Launch!![…]
The Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health (CanPath) is excited to announce its 2023-2027 Strategic Plan! The four key objectives of this plan will guide CanPath’s work over the next four years: Expand the cohort by engaging more participants from underrepresented populations and identifying partners in regions not yet included Enrich the cohort by linking CanPath data with Read more about CanPath Announces its 2023-2027 Strategic Plan[…]
Congratulations to Jacob Nearing who successfully defended his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology at Dalhousie University!! Supervised by Dr. Morgan Langille, Jacob used biosamples from Atlantic PATH and Alberta’s Tomorrow Project in his work, “Identification of Robust Biomarkers Using Microbiome DNA Sequencing with a Focus on the Oral Microbiome and Cancer Associations.” Abstract The human microbiome can Read more about Nearing PhD Defense[…]

For September 2022’s #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth, we shared insights across our social media channels from prostate cancer studies by CanPath researchers. Thanks to rich data from over 330,000 volunteer participants and researchers’ efforts, we can help change the future of prostate cancer! CanPath’s Research Round-Up highlights work on prostate cancer from Atlantic PATH and collaborators using our Read more about CanPath Research Round-Up: Prostate Cancer Awareness[…]
This #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth, we’re sharing insights from recent studies from researchers across Canada. Today, we’re sharing findings from Sheida Majouni, PhD candidate from Dalhousie University! In 2022, Majouni and colleagues applied machine learning to arsenic species and metal profiles of toenails from Atlantic PATH. They aimed to understand environmental metal’s potential to produce disease, specifically prostate cancer: https://bit.ly/3eVjUMK “Artificial Read more about Prostate Cancer Awareness Month[…]
Congratulations to Majouni et al. on the new publication, “Applying Machine Learning to Arsenic Species and Metallomics Profiles of Toenails to Evaluate Associations of Environmental Arsenic with Incident Cancer Cases.” This research involves analyzing toenail samples from Atlantic PATH, as well as machine learning algorithms to arsenic species and metallomics profiles to investigate the complex Read more about New Publication[…]
Congratulations to Dr. Samina Abidi, Dr. Raza Abidi, Dr. Ellen Sweeney and team on their successful CIHR Catalyst grant, “Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence based Platform for Early Chronic Disease Risk Assessment and Prediction to Improve Population Health.” This project will leverage digital health/e-health and artificial intelligence technologies to develop a Personalized Risk Investigation, Stratification Read more about Funding News[…]
We’re pleased to share a new publication that considers substituting sedentary behaviour with physical activity among participants with a history of cancer. Congratulations to Dr. Cindy Forbes and team! Open Access: https://bit.ly/3MQvqEp
The Atlantic PATH team is always happy to support the Canadian Cancer Society’s Plaid for Dad event which raises awareness about prostate cancer and supports prostate cancer research in Canada. There were two years when we could be together for Plaid for Dad in the office and with our office dog Flash. We’re happy to Read more about Five Years of Team PATH and Plaid for Dad[…]
