Barbara Turnbull Award honours leading spinal cord researcher

st highly assessed candidate in this field in Canada," said Barbara Turnbull.

"This award encourages Canadian health researchers by enabling them to expand their sphere of research and add momentum to the on-going search for a cure to spinal cord injuries" said Dr. Rmi Quirion, Scientific Director of the CIHR-INMHA.

"NeuroScience Canada is proud to be a partner on the Barbara Turnbull Award for Spinal Cord Research, for a fourth year. These awards highlight the range of expertise and disciplines that are needed to treat, and one day cure, the thousands of Canadians with spinal cord injuries, and the millions more with other central nervous system disorders. Recipients have focused on the basic level of cell repair, to rehabilitation and developing devices to improve the lives of patients," said Inez Jabalpurwala, President of NeuroScience Canada. "We congratulate Dr. Culotti for his excellent work, and thank Barbara Turnbull for her untiring efforts to raise awareness about the devastating impact of spinal cord injuries, and the need to accelerate the pace of neuroscience research."

Barbara Turnbull is a well known Toronto journalist and research activist who was shot and paralyzed from the neck-down during a convenience store robbery in 1983 when she was 18. She has organized this Award to increase public awareness that over ten million Canadians are afflicted with neurological and psychiatric disorders.
