Celebrating research innovations
With a focus on Alzheimer’s and dementia research, the day-long Taylor Symposium, Public Forum, and Leaders in Innovation Dinner events presented by Robarts Research Institute drew in hundreds of community members for yet another successful celebration of research leadership. The events offered a full-day of intriguing presentations and inspiring stories.
Victor Garber, award-winning actor and native Londoner, toured the labs at Robarts and then took to the podium to share the touching story of his family’s struggle with Alzheimer’s and the struggle of having both his parents succumb to the disease.
The evening portion of the event also featured the presentation of the 2014 J. Allyn Taylor International Prize in Medicine to Drs. Virginia M.Y. Lee and John Q. Trojanowski.
The 2015 event is expected to draw substantial attention with special guest and Canadian comedian Martin Short, and a focus on research innovations in the field of Cellular and Molecular Imaging in Cancer.
