More than a dozen medical research projects at the Université de Sherbrooke will benefit from a combined $9,704,026 in grant money over the next five years as a part of a $275 million national investment recently announced by the Federal Government to support research on the full spectrum of health issues affecting the lives of Canadians.
Federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor visited the Pavillon de recherche appliquée sur le cancer (PRAC) at the Université de Sherbrooke’s health campus on Wednesday to meet the researchers involved and make the announcement. See full story in the Thursday, March 14 edition of The Record.

In addition to making her funding announcement, Petitpas Taylor also toured the laboratories of Dr. Caroline Saucier and Dr. Tai Lee-Hwa to discuss the work their respective teams are doing face-to-face.
