The Isotopes for Hope Podcast is a series that highlights Canadian leaders in the country's isotope and cancer care sector who are contributing to Canada's leadership role in fighting cancer. While this podcast aims to frame the industry’s future in this area, we also feature unique stories and perspectives about the importance of isotopes from current industry leaders.
This episode features Dale Schick-Martin of the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation, a Canadian gem for research in nuclear materials. The Centre operates the Saskatchewan Cyclotron Facility, which provides critical just-in-time isotopes to hospitals in the Saskatchewan and surrounding provinces. Cyclotrons, like the one at the Fedoruk Centre, are an essential piece of Canada’s isotope infrastructure, providing another form of energy that's required to supply lifesaving isotopes directly to the hospitals that need them.
