One of the biggest findings involving local medical research has yet to come, and that’s the discovery by the general public of the innovative work happening in its community.
But it’s events like The Ottawa Hospital Gala that are working to shine a vibrant light on the remarkable research that has our local hospital ranked among the top research hospitals in the country.

The beautiful black-tie evening of dinner and dancing was held Saturday at The Westin hotel, drawing a sold-out crowd of 600 to celebrate three outstanding researchers:
– Dr. Zhaohong (Tina) Qin earned herself the Worton Researcher in Training Award for her work in neuroscience, including her discovery that a drug that controls appetite could also fight anxiety.
– Dr. Harold Atkins landed the Chrétien Researcher of the Year Award for his groundbreaking clinical trial which showed that a chemo and blood stem cell combination therapy can halt aggressive multiple sclerosis and allow repair.
– Dr. Duncan Stewart was presented the Grimes Research Career Achievement Award by EY for his leadership and research, including his pioneering role in several world-first stem cell therapy trials.
Stewart is executive vice president of research at The Ottawa Hospital and CEO and scientific director of The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. One of the goals of the annual gala, he said, is to spread the word on how medical breakthroughs in Ottawa are improving health care.
“I think most of Ottawa don’t really know what’s been happening in the last five or 10 years, or maybe even a little longer,” Stewart told Around Town. “Ottawa has become a major powerhouse of research. We’re a major academic centre.”
The gala was co-chaired by Greg Kane, counsel at Dentons Canada, with Whitney Fox, both of whom are on The Ottawa Hospital Foundation board. Attendees included the head of the hospital, Dr. Jack Kitts; Dr. Phil Wells, chair and chief of the department of medicine; and Ian Downie, general manager of gamma technologies for presenting sponsor Nordion.
Also spotted were: Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, Ottawa MPPs Yasir Naqvi and John Fraser, the prime minister’s senior political advisor, Gerald Butts, and emeritus senior scientist Dr. Michel Chrétien. You might have heard of his brother, former prime minister Jean Chrétien. He’s honourary chair of the hospital foundation’s $50-million Tender Loving Research Campaign.
