Bernhard "Hardi" Cinader OC[1] (March 30, 1919 – March 3, 2001) was a Canadian Immunologist and Professor in the Department of Immunology at the University of Toronto.[2] [3] He was inaugural president of the Canadian Society for Immunology (1966-1969) and the International Union of Immunological Societies (1969-1974).[2]

Scientific career

Cinader obtained his PhD from the University of London at the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine in London, England in 1948[4] and continued to conduct research there until 1958.

He was recruited to Toronto, Canada as head of the immunochemistry subdivision of the Ontario Cancer Institute in 1958.[5] He is considered one of the founders of Immunology research in Canada.[6]

He was founding director of the Institute of Immunology in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto.[2][7]

Cinader was founding president (1966-1969) of the Canadian Society for Immunology.[2]

The Canadian Society for Immunology initiated the annual Berhard Cinader Award in 1987.[6]

Research

In England, Cinader studied the antigenic properties of tetanus,[8] streptolysin[9] and albumin[10] with particular interest in enzyme-antibody interactions.[11]

At the Ontario Cancer Institute, his studies turned to tolerance,[12] complement[13] and aging.[14]

Personal life

Cinader was a patron of native Canadian art and artists.[6][15]
