The field of cardio-oncology is a critical frontier in modern medicine. While advances in cancer treatments have saved countless lives, many of these therapies carry hidden risks for the heart.

Almost 40 years ago, Tony Macknight, Michael Macknight and Boris Schlensky founded ADInstruments. They were joined in the very early stages by Graham Milliken. As we prepared to celebrate this incredible milestone, we wanted to look back at those early years. How did the founders find each other? And did they know what they had started?

We’re excited to announce that Jeremy Cohen has won our 2025 PowerLab C competition! Jeremy is a PhD student at the University of Waterloo in Canada. His PhD focuses on venous blood flow regulation using high-frame-rate ultrasound to visualize vector blood flow, and ECG. A recent addition to Jeremy...

Pressure-volume (PV) loops are the gold standard for measuring direct, real-time cardiac function. By simultaneously plotting real-time ventricular pressure against ventricular volume, PV loops provide a unique, quantitative approach for determining the contractility of the heart, independent of...

Here at ADInstruments, we're lucky to be a part of a large and thriving research community. Join us in celebrating some of the incredible work published by that community in March.

Dr Nancy Lai decodes the chorus of the brain, trying to find the intention of the signals within the noise of neural oscillations.

Dr Aascha D’Elia is a senior technical officer at the Baker Institute. Within the Translational Cardiology Centre, she has a hand in nearly every project they run.
