The University of Ottawa and the friends of CIHR are pleased to sponsor the 2017 Friesen Prize Lecture on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
Announced each spring, the Henry G. Friesen International Prize in Health Research was established in recognition of the distinguished leadership, vision and innovative contributions of Dr. Henry G. Friesen, a Canadian endocrinologist credited with redefining medical research in Canada. An annual fall lecture or series of lectures in a public forum features the current year’s laureate speaking on topics relating to the advancement of health research and its evolving contributions to society.
This year’s event features the internationally acclaimed Dr. Alan Bernstein, 2017 Friesen Prize winner and president, Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR). Dr. Bernstein will speak on the topic of Health Research in an Age of Borderless Science: How Can Canada Best Contribute?
