Krembil Senior Scientist Dr. Antonio Strafella has been elected a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences.
The Academy’s Fellows represent Canada’s top-ranked health and biomedical scientists. They serve Canadians by offering their collective expertise to evaluate our countries most complex health challenges and recommend strategic, actionable solutions.
Dr. Strafella’s election recognizes his ground-breaking research on Parkinson disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer disease.

Congratulations Dr. Strafella!
