平特五不中

Rio Tinto Alcan reinforced its commitment to community involvement today with a $1-million donation to the 鈥楾hinking Ahead Campaign鈥� at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI), affiliated with 平特五不中 and the 平特五不中 Health Centre. The campaign is a five-year $40-million initiative to invest in people and expand facilities and services. The donation, in support of the MNI鈥檚 multidisciplinary NeuroEngineering program, was announced by Rio Tinto Alcan Chief Executive Richard Evans at Rio Tinto Alcan鈥檚 Montreal Headquarters. Mr. Evans is a member of the MNI鈥檚 鈥楾hinking Ahead Campaign鈥� cabinet. David R. Colman, Director, MNI, said: 鈥淲e are proud that Rio Tinto Alcan and Dick Evans have chosen to invest in the MNI. Their support of the ground-breaking NeuroEngineering program gives us the opportunity to expand our research into new directions that we can鈥檛 even imagine now - exploring and bringing together new disciplines and technologies that we hope will improve the quality of life for those debilitated by injury or neurological disease.鈥� 鈥淩io Tinto Alcan believes in supporting inventive institutions and organizations in the communities where we are present,鈥� said Richard Evans, Chief Executive, Rio Tinto Alcan. 鈥淕ood health and strong healthcare facilities are key to a community鈥檚 success and growth. Supporting the MNI鈥檚 innovative NeuroEngineering Program is another way that we can play a role in improving the quality of life of people in Quebec and around the world. Advancement in this area could lead to significant scientific and medical breakthroughs that benefit populations everywhere.鈥� The NeuroEngineering Program is a truly synergistic effort in which neuroscientists are engaging physical scientists to work together on some of the most compelling, unsolved problems related to nervous system damage, such as in traumatic spinal cord injuries. Using the expertise of the physical scientists, the entire team is devising biological platforms and 鈥渆ngineering tools鈥� geared to restoring function and repairing the nervous system. The creation of a new research laboratory will allow the MNI to recruit world-class scientists who will add unique expertise to come up with fresh, innovative ideas and apply them to neurological problems.
