The Nuclear Isotope Innovation Council of Ontario (NIICO) has been established to enhance isotope production in the province, promoting new treatments and improving access to medical isotopes. McMaster University has joined this initiative, emphasizing its leadership in nuclear medicine, particularly in supplying cancer treatments. Ontario's energy minister, Stephen Lecce, announced the formation of NIICO, which includes experts from various organizations to drive innovation in isotope research. The council aims to strengthen the province’s isotope supply chain and engage with stakeholders, including Indigenous communities, to meet increasing global demands for medical isotopes. This initiative aligns with the broader goal of advancing healthcare and supporting a biomanufacturing economy in Ontario.
