Peter St George-Hyslop and Molly Shoichet awarded 2020 Margolese National Brain Disorders Prize

Molly Shoichet of the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering and University Professor Peter St George-Hyslop of the Temerty Faculty of Medicine have each received the 2020 Margolese National Brain Disorders Prize from the University of British Columbia.

The $50,000 prize is normally awarded to one researcher each year but a committee of international experts determined St George-Hyslop and Shoichet each separately deserved to win. Shoichet was recognized for her work in regenerative medicine of the central nervous system while St George-Hyslop was recognized for advancing the understanding of the genetic causes and molecular changes in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease.

鈥淭he University of Toronto congratulates Professor St George-Hyslop and Professor Shoichet on this significant recognition of their accomplishments,鈥 said University Professor Ted Sargent, 缅北强奸鈥檚 vice-president, research and innovation, and strategic initiatives. 鈥淥ur understanding of Parkinson鈥檚 disease, Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and motor neuron diseases has been transformed by Dr. St George-Hyslop鈥檚 discovery of key genetic mutations in proteins and his pioneering work on the importance of genotyping.

鈥淧rofessor Shoichet鈥檚 work on the use of polymers for tissue regeneration and drug discovery has made her a world leader in the field of biomedical engineering and had a significant impact on our approach to cancer and stroke.

鈥淭he decision to award them each this prize is a testament to their leadership and the impact of their research around the world.鈥
