About Science and Research
Good health depends on good science.
Applied science activities, such as food inspection, disease tracking, and compliance testing of consumer products, are performed every day by Health Canada scientists to ensure the health and safety of Canadians.
In addition, research and applied science are used to help us develop the department's policies and programs. The work of our scientists and researchers helps influence decisions about diseases, hazardous substances, food and drugs, consumer products, tobacco, and much more.
