Engaging Research
SFU researchers are creating global medical technologies that change people’s lives
Providing solutions to our critically important health-care issues is at the core of neuroscientist Dr. Ryan D’Arcy’s work.
By developing advanced diagnostic and treatment tools for the treatment of people with brain injuries and other brain illnesses, Ryan has created hope for the approximately 1 in 3 Canadians predicted to be directly affected by brain illness during their lives.
Now, he is leading a team in the creation of a health-care impact model in Surrey to position the city as a leader in global health technologies and innovation. Their vision is to develop medical technology-based innovations – innovations with tangible impacts that touch patient’s lives. These innovations will also contribute to the wealth of Canada through economic growth, job creation and investment in highly-skilled people as a top renewable resource.
Through the integration of its advanced research capacities with the frontline medical expertise of Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Fraser Health region, SFU is engaging the world’s communities and economies in groundbreaking medical innovations that improve lives.
