Dr. Parissenti is recognized by Laurentian University for research in cancer treatments

Wednesday, March 27, 2019 – Laurentian University is pleased to announce that Dr. Amadeo M. Parissenti has been awarded the 2018–2019 Research Excellence Award. Dr. Parissenti was nominated by Dr. Osman Abou-Rabia, Dean of the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Architecture at Laurentian University, for his outstanding research in monitoring tumour response to chemotherapy and its potential to help patients.

Dr. Parissenti’s research focuses on cancer treatments, including factors that promote or block the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. He and his associated company, Rna Diagnostics, Inc., are currently involved in an international clinical trial examining the ability of their proprietary chemoresponse assay to predict early in treatment complete tumour destruction and improved survival for patients with breast cancer, with the goal to help healthcare providers offer the most effective treatments with minimal side effects. 

“Dr. Amadeo Parissenti has attained an exceptional level of research excellence,” said Dr. Rizwan Haq, Interim Vice-President of Research at Laurentian University. “His work in cancer treatment has the potential to help not only reduce harmful and ineffective treatments, but also improve the quality of life, and increase survival rates in cancer patients.”

Dr. Parissenti is a tenured Full Professor with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Laurentian University, a tenured Full Professor with the Division of Medical Sciences at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM), a Principal Investigator at the Health Sciences North Research Institute (HSNRI), and Chief Scientific Officer at RNA Diagnostics, Inc.

“I am honoured to receive the 2018–2019 Research Excellence Award and am grateful to my colleagues for this recognition,” said Dr. Amadeo M. Parissenti. “I also wish to thank Laurentian University and its Office of Research Services for guiding me in the patenting and commercialization of our chemoresponse assay and providing a stimulating environment for innovative research.”

Dr. Parissenti has an impressive publication record, including six co-authored book chapters and fifty-five peer-reviewed articles. He holds several patents, some of which were granted in many jurisdictions, and has received a number of awards, including the Best Intellectual Property Award from The IndUS Entrepreneurs (TiE) as part of the Quest Business Competition in Toronto.

Fielding family donates painting by Group of Seven artist

Fielding family donates painting by Group of Seven artist

Laurentian University gifted with Franklin Carmichael painting titled “La Cloche”

January 17, 2019 – The Brenda Wallace Reading Room at Laurentian University is now home to a painting by Group of Seven artist Franklin Carmichael. The extraordinary piece titled “La Cloche” was gifted to Laurentian by long-time supporter and friend of the University, Mrs. Lily Fielding. 

The unveiling took place earlier today at a special presentation in the Brenda Wallace Reading Room located in the J.N. Desmarais Library. “The Fielding family has a long history of supporting the local community and the University,” said Tracy MacLeod, Chief Advancement Officer at Laurentian University. “It is fitting the painting be hung in this beautiful space built in honour of Mrs. Fielding’s late daughter.” 

The Brenda Wallace Reading Room provides the Laurentian community with an incredible place to read in a relaxed atmosphere with a spectacular view of Lake Nepahwin. A growing collection of northern Ontario landscape paintings, several by Group of Seven artists, is proudly displayed in this space.

"In our 2018-2023 Strategic Plan, we have committed to becoming a hub for arts and culture, increasing awareness of the artistic and cultural contributions of Indigenous, Franco-Ontarian, and other Northern artists," explained Dr. Pierre Zundel, Interim President and Vice-Chancellor of Laurentian University. "On behalf of the Laurentian community, I would like to thank Mrs. Fielding and her family for their gracious gift, and their continued support. This incredible piece will inspire our students and visitors for many years to come."

Franklin Carmichael (1890–1945), Canadian artist and youngest member of the Group of Seven, is notable for depicting the Canadian landscape with his use of watercolour. He made his first trip to La Cloche in the mid 1920s, a rugged hilly area north of Manitoulin Island extending west from Killarney Provincial Park. For two decades he sketched there, eventually building a cabin at Cranberry Lake. “La Cloche” (1939) depicts the magnificent land of the region through fluid brushstrokes in tonalities of purple, green and blue.
