Canada Files Season 5 Ep. 6: Dr. Tak Mak

Dr. Mak is one of the most cited Canadian scientists in the world. His discovery of the T-cell receptor was called the Holy Grail of Immunology and has revolutionized cancer research. Still at work in his lab at age 77, and motivated by the loss of his own wife to breast cancer, he is an active expert in the field of cancer metabolism.

This interview is beautifully inspirational, touching and brilliant, as is Dr. Mak. We’re all so fortunate Dr. Mak returned to Canada after just one day.

The 8th wonder of the world? Are you saying Mak is to take the place of the 8th wonder of the world, ahead of scientists such as Einstein and Newton? That's a big call.
