Three days. That’s how long, on average, patients across Canada waited for admission to rehabilitation care in 2024-25. At first glance, the solution may seem obvious: add more rehabilitation beds. But what if capacity isn’t the only issue? That’s one of the questions that drove Berk Görgülü’s recent research. His work shows that rehabilitation delays […]
Wilson College’s inaugural practitioners-in-residence came from different disciplines and tackled very different projects, but there was one thing they had in common — a firm belief that community is key for leadership to be truly successful. Dana Cramer and Monique Pitt spent the 2025-2026 academic year working with Wilson College students in a variety of ways: workshops, office hours, […]
For the 16th year, Maureen Padden will spend summer’s end with students in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area. Padden, an associate professor in the School of Earth, Environment & Society, teaches a third-year Environmental Field Camp course that turns the conservation area’s 1,200 hectares of forests, meadows and streams into a living lab. Over 10 days in late August, 30 science students will use laser rangefinders, spectrophotometers, flow […]

Following last week’s planned water outage, Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) will complete additional repairs to a city water main that require a temporary loss of water service throughout McMaster University Medical Centre (MUMC), also known as the Health Sciences Centre (HSC). The disruption is expected to begin at midnight (12 a.m.) on Friday, Aug. 7, 2026, […]
Researchers at McMaster University have discovered that a protein produced by phages — viruses that infect bacteria — can disarm multiple disease-causing bacteria, which could have implications for the development of future antimicrobial therapies. The new findings, published recently in the journal PLOS Pathogens, are a one-two punch: They not only reinforce the promise of phage-based […]
Update as of July 31, 2026: Water service has been restored throughout MUMC following the planned overnight repair. Some work will continue over the next few days, and it is anticipated that this will have minimal impact on site operations. McMaster thanks faculty, staff, learners and researchers for their patience and cooperation during this work. […]
McMaster University researcher Matthew Miller is among a select group of Canadian scientists that have been recognized with a prestigious CIHR-CEPI Leadership Award for Excellence in Vaccine Research.

Recipients receive $600,000 in research funding over a three-year period to help advance […]
When Patrick McNally was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 2021, he wasn’t sure what the future would hold. Today, he continues to defy the odds, a result he attributes to the treatment he received and the research that made it possible. Inspired by that experience, Patrick and his wife Nancy, owners of Peninsula Ridge Estate Winery in Beamsville, have made a […]
