A week of Celebration-The Immunology Center
First blog for this week is the great success of the Immunology Grand Opening. Kudos to the great work that has gone on for years in the Department of Immunology that laid the groundwork that allowed this to happen. Immediate past Department Head Kent Hayglass and his team created academic excellence, and a significant financial contribution. Partnered with that from the Faculty of Medicine, and through the efforts of Debbie Macallum and John Alho funding from Western EconomicDiversification, andfrom the Winnipeg Partnership allowed us to complete the project. The vision and tenacity of Dr. David Collins , Dean of Pharmacy who led to the project to build Apotec Center created the availability of the fourth floor for us. Dr Redwan Moqbel, our new Dept Head was in great form , despite his most recent discharge from hospital, and the academic program he and his team created was international in scope and quality.
