Published on March 14, 2023
From February 9 to February 12, 2023 was held the first edition of FOCUS, an exhibition presenting science from an artistic perspective thanks to the creative talents of IRIC’s scientific community. The exhibition brought to light scientific works created by the Institute’s community at Projet Casa, a Montreal-based showroom founded by long-time donator : Danielle Lysaught and Paul Hamelin.
During these four days exhibition, more than 175 visitors came to discover the creativity of IRIC researchers. More than $10,000 was raised through the sale of 15 paintings and generous donations.
The funds raised will be used to support the creation of IRIC’s Chair in Biomedical Data. By taking advantage of artificial intelligence applied to human health, this Chair will ensure the development of powerful and novel computational approaches for the development of new therapeutic agents against cancer.
Thanks to our collaborators, Danielle Lysaught and Paul Hamelin, Alexandre Le Bouthillier and our precious researchers at IRIC.
