The Cole Foundation Pursues its Commitment Toward Leukemia Research
Published on May 18, 2010
Students from IRIC will benefit from the generous funding of the Cole Foundation. On Friday, it awarded $536,000 in fellowships to promising young Montreal researchers in pediatric leukemia.
The new 2010 Cole fellows from IRIC are:
• Aurélie Baguet, post-doctoral student in the laboratory of Katherine Borden
• Cédric Carli, post- doctoral student in the laboratory Philippe Roux
• Danielle de Verteuil, doctoral student in the laboratory of Claude Perreault
• Krystel Vincent, masters student in the laboratory of Claude Perreault
Since 2007, the Cole Foundation has funded some 60 post-doctoral and graduate research fellowships at Université de Montréal, McGill University and the Université du Québec’s Institut national de la recherche scientifique – Institut Armand-Frappier.
“The faculties of medicine at the Université de Montréal and McGill University, along with the Institut Armand-Frappier, produce scientists who are at the forefront of the international battle against pediatric leukemia,” said Barry Cole, president of the Cole Foundation. “These new investments, coupled with our ongoing Cole Fellowships, will serve as important tools to empower tomorrow’s scientists – right here in Montreal – so they may find new ways to conquer pediatric leukemia and related diseases.”
