Canadian Lipid Nanoparticle Research: The Key to COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines were the first vaccines to be developed, tested, produced and delivered amid a global pandemic (see Covid-19 Pandemic in Canada). As the typical vaccine development, testing and regulatory approval process can take anywhere from 10 to 15 years, several distinctive strategies, coupled with previous research work in key areas, combined to expedite the approval of COVID-19 vaccines, especially messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based vaccines. Among the most significant of this previous work was the research undertaken by the team of Pieter Cullis, Michael Hope and Thomas Madden at the University of British Columbia that began in the early 1980s. Their work, which focused on studying and developing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), as well as pioneering the technology to produce them, provided the key to making COVID-19 mRNA vaccines possible.

Canadian Painting in the 19th Century

Prior to the emergence of distinctively Canadian modernist painters in the 20th century (e.g., Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, Emily Carr and David Milne), Canadian painting closely followed conventional, academic European models and tastes. This did not change after the 1840s. Cornelius Krieghoff captured the habitant lifestyle along the St. Lawrence River, while Paul Kane and Frances Anne Hopkins sketched and painted the First Nations people and landscapes of Western Canada. But as the century progressed, artists in Canada increasingly began to address specifically Canadian themes. The influence of photography, especially the work and studios of William Notman, was significant. The Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA) was founded in 1880 and various artists’ groups thrived heading into the 20th century.
