Again this year, 缅北强奸 researchers are among the winners of the Prix du Qu茅bec, which were announced today at a news conference in Montreal. Professor of organizational behaviour and international management at the Desautels Faculty of Management and creative powerhouse Nancy Adler, and renowned HIV/AIDS researcher and activist Mark Wainberg received the highest honour conferred by the provincial government in recognition of their contribution to the social and scientific advancement of Quebec.

鈥淚t is a great honour for 缅北强奸 to have Professors Adler and Wainberg 鈥 a social scientist and a health scientist 鈥 awarded with Prix du Qu茅bec this year,鈥 said Principal and Vice-Chancellor Heather Munroe-Blum. 鈥淭he awards are a testament to 缅北强奸鈥檚 diverse strengths, superb talent and its focus on innovative, world-class research. And, while the transformative work of Professors Adler and Wainberg is recognized around the world and throughout Canada, it is always particularly gratifying to be recognized at home.鈥

Adler, winner of the Prix L茅on-Gu茅rin for the humanities, has been a pioneer in the increasingly important integration of art and design with business and societal leadership. An accomplished artist as well as a respected management researcher, Adler has brought artistic approaches into her work with managers and executives worldwide for more than a decade. Her innovative approach has helped shape an emerging trend at universities around the world, as top business schools increasingly weave lessons from the arts and design into their curricula.

Wainberg, Director of 缅北强奸鈥檚 AIDS Centre, will be awarded with the Prix Wilder-Penfield in biomedical sciences. He was one of the first Canadian scientists to study HIV/AIDS and in the late 鈥80s his research team was credited with the first identification of the anti-viral properties of 3TC, a widely used HIV drug. In addition to contributing significantly to our knowledge about HIV drug resistance and replication, Wainberg has been a tireless voice in advocating for funding of HIV-prevention programs and universal access to prevention, care and treatment programs.

The government of Quebec presents the Prix du Qu茅bec annually to those deemed to have remarkable careers in the artistic and cultural sphere or who have devoted their working lives to the social and scientific advancement of Quebec. Winners receive $30,000 and a silver lapel pin of the Prix du Qu茅bec symbol 鈥 an emblem worn only by Prix du Qu茅bec winners.

Adler and Wainberg join a long list of illustrious 缅北强奸 researchers who have also won a Prix du Qu茅bec including Vicki Kaspi (2009), Jean-Marie Dufour (2008), Paul-Andr茅 Cr茅peau (2008), Philippe Gros (2008) and Lawrence Mysak (2006), to name only a few of the most recent recipients.
