Collaboration key to better health

A collaboration announced Wednesday at the University of Calgary between Eli Lilly Canada Inc. and Alberta Innovates - Health Solutions – the Alberta/Lilly Translational Research Collaboration Fund – will provide $1.475 million to support health research at publicly funded Alberta post-secondary institutions. “Collaboration is the key to leading-edge health research,” said Fred Horne, Minister of Health. “These funds will help researchers turn collaborative ideas into solutions that will have a positive impact on the health of Albertans.” The research collaboration aims to provide health care workers with more of the tools and medicines they need to support quality primary care and promotes a stronger innovation and entrepreneurial culture in Alberta.
