ReGenesis was produced in Toronto, and follows the adventures of an international virology lab that operates as a tiny stealth CDC whose core membership is split between Canadians, Americans and Mexicans, with a side-order of at least one Iranian (I think) and a scientist of Vietnamese descent. One character (not Sandstrom) has high-functioning ASD. Their cases start out sort of real-world but then become science fiction really quickly. One of the first continuing plot threads, for example, tracks a an airborne prion plague unwittingly spread by a woman whose newborn was genetically engineered to be a living disease vector, a sort of Typhoid Harry who would probably have to be kept in a bubble for the rest of his life; Sandstrom's daughter, played by a very young Ellen Page, falls for a boy who turns out to have been cloned to contribute material to a cancer-stricken sibling (who died), and is reaching the end of his "natural" life-cycle at maybe 15. Sandstrom also at one point digs up a 1918 influenza victim and cultures pandemic-level flu, ostensibly for a good cause--he's drunk and sleeping with his team-members a lot of the time, a walking embodiment of Ian Malcolm-type chaos theory, definitely the kind of guy who never thinks about if he should do "it", just if he can do it. And then does it.
