Professor Marianna Foldvari received the Association of Faculties of Pharmacy of Canada (AFPC) Pfizer Research Career Award at the AFPC conference in Quebec City. The award recognizes Foldvari’s success as a leader in pharmaceutical sciences research.
Foldvari is one of only a handful of researchers worldwide who focuses on non-invasive gene and drug delivery. In particular, her lab examines delivering transdermal and intraocular treatments, or treatments through the skin and eyes. The AFPC Pfizer award acknowledges her significant research output on this topic: she has published widely in this area, with over 150 peer-reviewed research papers in print and has given over 200 presentations at national and international conferences. Her expertise in her field is evident from her position as associate editor of Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine, a premier scientific journal. The importance of her research is recognized in the approximately $23 million dollars in grant funding her work has received over her career.
Congratulations!
