Transformative Donation of $16 Million Establishes New Autism Research Centre at The Neuro
Thanks to an extraordinary $16-million donation from the Azrieli Foundation, The Neuro is creating the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR). This will make The Neuro the first institute in Canada to develop a comprehensive program for autism that tightly integrates the full spectrum of research with drug discovery and the training of autism specialists, thus creating a framework for scientific advances with enormous potential for a meaningful impact on people living with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and their families.
The donation was announced at a special event on October 23, attended by members of the Azrieli family, directors of the Azrieli Foundation board, Dr. Gaétan Barrette, Quebec Minister of Health and Social Services, as well as senior leaders from McGill and The Neuro.
