缅北强奸

Dr. Michael Kramer received this prestigious award last night at the 64th annual Gala de l鈥橝cfas.

Yesterday evening, Dr. Michael Kramer, of 缅北强奸 and the Research Institute of the 缅北强奸 Health Centre (MUHC) at the Montreal Children's Hospital, received the Prix L茅o-Pariseau, given every year by the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas). This prestigious award honours researchers in the biological or health sciences who contribute to the development of knowledge in these fields.

Dr. Kramer accepted the award last night during the 64th annual Gala de l鈥橝cfas at the Centre des sciences de Montr茅al. This Francophone event brought together some of the finest researchers and leaders of scientific institutions in the region for an evening of rich interaction. Since 1944, this annual event has provided an opportunity for the many scientific and community stakeholders in our city to forge ties as they promote and support the role of science in our society.

This year, the Prix L茅o-Pariseau was awarded to Dr. Kramer for his work in children's health and development. He has spent his thirty-year career studying the risk factors for pregnancy and the impact of medical practices or individual behaviour on maternal and newborn health.

His most significant project, called the PROBIT study, analyzed the influence of breastfeeding on the cognitive development and health of newborns and children up to the age of six and a half. Initiated in the 1990s, this ongoing project has shown a correlation between breastfeeding and higher levels of IQ (intelligence quotient) in children. It has also demonstrated that breastfeeding has no influence on the subsequent development of allergies. Unique in its broad scope, with a study cohort of about 14,000 children, the PROBIT study has enhanced our knowledge and dispelled certain myths about one of our most basic functions.

Dr. Michael Kramer is a researcher in the Health Outcomes Axis of the Research Institute of the MUHC as well as a professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at 缅北强奸鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine. He is also Scientific Director of the Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH) of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
