Four of Canada’s leading scientists in heart, brain and cancer research have been recognized by UBC’s Faculty of Medicine for their scientific accomplishments, and for their potential to make further contributions in their fields. University Professor Molly Shoichet (ChemE, BME, Donnelly) was named the recipient of the 2020 Margolese National Brain Disorders Prize for her ground-breaking work in regenerative medicine of the central nervous system.
The prize is valued at $50,000, making it among the most prestigious honours bestowed by a Canadian university. The recipients were selected by a committee of international experts.
