Dr. Gordon Keller Presented With Prestigious Award

MBP scientist Dr. Gordon Keller has been announced as the recipient of the prestigious Bloom Burton Award, a distinction that ‘honours an individual who made the greatest contribution to Canada’s innovative healthcare industry in the previous year’.

Dr. Keller’s nomination was based on his involvement in the $1 billion exit of BlueRock Therapeutics, a leading stem-cell research company he co-founded in 2016, and for his contribution to the development of a major Toronto laboratory that employs over 100 world-class scientists.

The award will be presented to Dr. Keller at the Bloom Burton Award Gala held on virtually on November 25th, 2020.

The Department of Medical Biophysics congratulates Dr. Keller on this outstanding achievement.
