Dr. Julio Montaner will add yet another award to his mantel this winter. On November 27, Dr. Montaner will receive the 2015 McLaughlin Medal from the Royal Society of Canada.
The McLaughlin Medal, established in 1978, is awarded for important research of sustained excellence in any branch of medical sciences. Past recipients include neuropsychologist Brenda Milner, scientist Jacques de Champlain and Canadian neurologist AndrÂŽ Barbeau.
“This award is especially humbling as I was selected from among my peers within the distinguished Royal Society,” said Dr. Montaner. “I hope this honour encourages young medical researchers, including those selected as fellows of the Society, to forge ahead with bold, innovative work that advances Canadian science.”
