Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada paying tribute to recipients of the nobel prize in physiology or medicine
October 03, 2011
Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement on the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Canadian-born Ralph M. Steinman: “On behalf of all Canadians, I would like to pay tribute to the remarkable accomplishments of Ralph M. Steinman and his colleagues Jules A. Hoffman and Bruce A. Beutler, who today were awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. “Their research has revolutionized our understanding of the immune system and opened up new avenues for the development of prevention and therapy against infections, cancer and inflammatory diseases. “Thanks to their dedication, the boundaries of science and medicine have been expanded. “Sadly, Dr. Steinman passed away on September 30, 2011, prior to receiving his prize. The Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine is a fitting final tribute to his life's work. “Dr. Steinman shall be honoured for all time with this achievement. Canadians will mourn his loss.” |
