May 28, 2025 – On May 27, Laval University held the first edition of the Grand Rendez-vous de la recherche, de la création et de l’innovation (Great Gathering of Research, Creation, and Innovation) at the Quebec City Convention Center. The purpose of the event was to highlight and celebrate “the excellence of research, creation, and innovation at Laval University in all its breadth and diversity.”
The evening was dedicated to the presentation of the Awards of Excellence in Research, Creation, and Innovation: “Awarded by the Vice-Rectorate for Research, Creation, and Innovation, these new awards [allow] us to recognize and honor the exceptional achievements of the research community, increase their visibility, and highlight their societal impact.”
We are pleased to share with you that Dr. Turgeon received the Lumière Award for Discovery/Breakthrough of the Year in Health Research on behalf of the HEMOTION team.
This award highlights the sustained efforts over nearly ten years that made the HEMOTION project a reality, from its conception to its publication in the New England Journal of Medicine, thanks to the mobilization of a large network of researchers and collaborators and the essential work of the entire research team.
Congratulations !
