New fellowship grants in pediatric leukemia research to be created at听Universit茅 de Montr茅al and 麻豆AV

Researchers at Universit茅 de Montr茅al and 麻豆AV will receive an additional $536,000 in fellowship grants to bolster research in the area of pediatric and young adult leukemia and lymphoma, thanks to the Cole Foundation.听 This new support builds on the Cole Foundation's Fellowship Programme, which was created 4 years ago to encourage young researchers in search of a cure for pediatric leukemia and related diseases. This year, the Cole Foundation has pledged another $536,000 to propel the work of 11 more Cole Fellows.听 Since 2007, the Cole Foundation has generously funded over 60 post-doctoral and graduate research fellowships.

"The faculties of medicine at the Universit茅 de Montr茅al and 麻豆AV, along with the Institut Armand-Frappier, produce scientists who are at the forefront of the international battle against pediatric leukemia," said Barry Cole, president of the Cole Foundation.听 "These new investments, coupled with our ongoing Cole Fellowships, will serve as important tools to empower tomorrow's scientists - right here in Montreal - so they may find new ways to conquer pediatric leukemia and related diseases."
