It's a bird! It's a plane! It's McMaster's secret agents! Our McMaster researchers are more like secret agents than you might think. They use sophisticated technology and travel the world to fight their enemies. But instead of Dr. No, our researchers fight enemies like disease and destruction. Some of them may even look a bit like James Bond. Just like actual secret agents, our researchers strive to keep everyone happy, healthy and secure. But they couldn't do it without the generosity of donors.

Click the links below to read about some of the research successes of McMaster's international men and women of mystery.

These stories are just a few examples of our researchers accomplishing their mission. Private gifts to research help McMaster continue to be a top secret training facility - err, top research university.

Sincerely,

Karen McQuigge
Director, Alumni Advancement
