1. Supporting tomorrow’s innovators and scientists
Through our longstanding support of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT),
Purdue Pharma (Canada) continues to encourage innovation, discovery and scientific
exploration.
Most recently, Arlene Ali participated as a community judge in the international Three Minute
Thesis (3MT®) competition which began in Australia and now includes students from UOIT.
In addition, we continue to support the Faculty of Science’s Purdue Pharma (Canada)
Distinguished Lecture Series. In March, the series included a lecture from Dr. Justin Du Bois of
Stanford University. Dr. Du Bois’ research may help scientists uncover ways to develop new
pain medications and potential applications for treating nerve injury.
Arlene was on hand to
talk briefly about Purdue
Pharma (Canada). Also
joining her at the lecture
were our colleagues: Ning
Zheng, Daniel Asres, Sonja
Dhani, Liu Yang, and Blake
Roberts (who is a UOIT
graduate). You can find
more information and a
link to the lecture on
demand on the UOIT web
site.
Our support of the students at UOIT is an example of our belief that we have a responsibility
goes beyond the provision of innovative medicines and includes helping to educate and
encourage those who will lead innovation and research in the future.
