Backgound

The fund was established in honour of Dr. Étienne Le Bel. A graduate of the Université de Montréal Faculty of Medicine in 1954, a visionary and an innovator, he founded the department of nuclear medicine and radiobiology at the Université de Sherbrooke Faculty of Medicine in 1968, serving as director until 1985. Dr. Le Bel was also responsible for post-doctoral teaching in nuclear medicine and radiobiology as well as for advanced studies in clinical science and radiobiology. Dr. Étienne Le Bel is recognized as one of the outstanding pioneers in nuclear medicine in Quebec and across Canada.

A man of deep conviction and strong belief in the benefits of research, he was involved in recruiting young researchers and providing an environment conducive to the advancement of research. His masterpiece is without doubt the Clinical Research Centre, now named in his honour and endowed with an imaging centre unique in Canada. With Dr. Le Bel devoting more than 10 years of effort, the centre has rapidly become the most active PET imaging centre in Canada and has gained international recognition.
