Queen's cancer research Jim Biagi will lead a promising international trial that could introduce a new chemotherapy regimen to improve the survival rate of patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal and gynaecological cancers.

Queen's researcher Kathryn Brohman, professor at the Smith School of Business, is a co-principal investigator of a new research initiative called Healthcare Systems Leadership, a nonprofit research team of health-care providers and academics from across Canada that hope to streamline collaboration and information exchange in Canadian health care.

Queen's researcher Ian Janssen, a professor in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, has over the last four years undertaken three projects with the support of the Heart & Stroke Foundation, each with the aim of pinning down just how active Canadian children are, what factors affect their activity, and how their activity influences their health.
