Scientific career

Cinader obtained his PhD from the University of London at the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine in London, England in 1948[2] 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.[3] He is considered one of the founders of Immunology research in Canada.[4]

He was founding director of the Institute of Immunology in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto.[1][5]

Cinader was founding president (1966-1969) of the Canadian Society for Immunology.[1]

The Canadian Society for Immunology initiated the annual Berhard Cinader Award in 1987.[4]

Research

In England, Cinader studied the antigenic properties of tetanus,[6] streptolysin[7] and albumin[8] with particular interest in enzyme-antibody interactions.[9]

At the Ontario Cancer Institute, his studies turned to tolerance,[10] complement[11] and aging.[12]

Personal life

Cinader was a patron of native Canadian art and artists.[4]
