Fiera Capital has committed\n \n $120,000\n \n over three years to fund these important awards.\n \n \n \"What these young scientists are doing through their research – pushing the boundaries of health care – is both impressive and critical to foster an equitable health care system and healthier communities. Our unique perspectives fuel our ability to innovate, and we are proud to support the next generation of innovators through the Fiera Capital Awards. We look forward to seeing our partnership with the MUHC Foundation and the RI-MUHC unfold in the next years.\"\n \n \n \n —Lyne Lamothe\n \n , Global Chief Human Resources Officer, Fiera Capital\n \n \n \"The Research Institute of the\n \n McGill University\n \...
