Health research is a key focus area at the Canadian Light Source (CLS). From 2017 through 2019, researchers from across Canada have made impressive use of the capabilities of CLS beamlines to collect data and advance many challenging projects. These researchers published more than 200 health-related papers and deposited more than 400 structure coordinates in the Protein Data Bank during this period. The summaries presented in this review highlight a representative selection of this research, covering a range of health issues including; cystic fibrosis, hearing loss, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, malaria, cancer, and the role of the microbiome. Advances in the development of new antibiotics and other novel pharmaceuticals are also discussed.

健康研究是加拿大光源（CLS）的重点关注领域。从2017年到2019年，来自加拿大各地的研究人员充分利用了CLS束线的功能来收集数据并推进许多具有挑战性的项目。在此期间，这些研究人员发表了200多篇与健康有关的论文，并在蛋白质数据库中存储了400多个结构坐标。这篇综述中的摘要突出了本研究的代表性选择，涵盖了一系列健康问题，其中包括：囊性纤维化，听力下降，骨质疏松，老年痴呆症，疟疾，癌症以及微生物组的作用。还讨论了开发新抗生素和其他新药物的进展。
