VANCOUVER AND NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, May 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- D‑Pace Inc., a global leader in ion source and related technology for the commercial particle accelerator market, today announced that Dr. Tom Ruth has joined its newly formed Global Advisory Network, strengthening the company’s technical and scientific advisory capability as it executes its long‑term growth strategy.

Dr. Ruth is Emeritus Senior Research Scientist at TRIUMF and Emeritus Senior Scientist at the British Columbia Cancer Research Centre and is internationally recognized for his leadership in the production and application of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine, research, and industrial use.

He has authored over 300 peer‑reviewed publications and received many of the field’s highest honors, including the Michael J. Welch Award, the NSERC Brockhouse Award, election as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and the Georg de Hevesy Award.
