In The News:

Dr. Michel Tremblay has been awarded the Canadian Cancer Society’s 2012 Robert L. Noble Award.  The Robert L. Noble Prize is given for outstanding achievements in cancer research. It honours Dr Noble, an esteemed Canadian investigator whose research in the 1950s led to the discovery of vincristine, a widely-used anti-cancer drug. At the time, vincristine was one of the most effective treatments available for Hodgkin’s disease.  Congratulations to Michel, a great achievement for McGill. [2013 Apr 2]
