In
addition to hosting SportsCentre, Mudryk
does play-by-play as part of TSN’s
curling broadcast team and was fortunate
enough to have called the 2010 Olympic Games
in Vancouver.
Mudryk
was born in Athabasca, AB, and raised in nearby
Boyle, AB (population 850). With more than
10 years experience as a broadcaster, Mudryk’s
career began in Lloydminster, AB, at CKSA
TV and Radio as a reporter, covering a wide
range of topics (1998 to 1999). From there,
he moved to Winnipeg to anchor the weekend
and late night sports segments for A-Channel
(1999 to 2001). Mudryk spent four years at
CTV Edmonton anchoring and reporting on sports
before making the move to TSN in 2005.
For
his efforts, Bryan was nominated in 2008 for
Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 award. He is
a graduate of the Radio and Television Arts
program at the Northern
Alberta Institute of Technology.
Our
Goal for 2013: High Speed Nikon 3D Microscope!
Dr.
John Lewis and his team are developing a ‘tumour
glue’ that can be applied to all metastatic
cancers and will prevent tumour cells from detaching
and stop the spread of cancer in its tracks. Because
tumour glue targets cancer cells that could spread,
tracking its effectiveness can also assist with
predicting metastases.
This
microscope will be custom-designed by Nikon and
will allow the team to see the effectiveness of
the tumour glue drug at single cell resolution in
real-time so that staff can precisely view when
and where the cells attempt to detach. Moreover,
this unique piece of equipment will allow staff
to more accurately measure the impact of the tumour
glue drug on metastatic cancers and will accelerate
the translation of these results to Dr. Lewis’
overall goal of developing this drug to treat all
metastatic cancers. [ read

Update
on our 2012 Goal: Linac-MR
As
a generous supporter of Dr. Gino Fallone & team
at the Cross Cancer Institute, I thought you might
be interested to know Gino was honored for the Linac-MR
invention at the prestigious ASTech Awards on Friday,
November 2, 2012 for Outstanding Leadership in Technology.
In
accepting the award, Gino graciously acknowledged
you — the Alberta Cancer Foundation donors
— who “supported this work from its
inception.”
The
Linac-MR Project is on track and progressing according
to plan: MR magnet is now built and en route to
Canada from Italy. Construction will get underway
at the Cross Cancer Institute in early 2013, once
the radiation vault renovations are complete (electrical
modifications and radiofrequency shielding).
