FUNDING

Dr. Rocio Sedano, Associate Scientist at Lawson, has received $97,500 in funding from the Academic Medical Organization of Southwestern Ontario (AMOSO) over three years, for the study, “Development of a London Gastroenterology Motility Databank (The GI Motility Database)” to support the development of a London Gastroenterology Motility Databank. 

This new database will collect and organize clinical motility data, creating a valuable resource to advance research in neurogastroenterology and improve understanding of digestive health disorders.


Dr. Spencer B Chambers, has been awarded $146,250 in funding over the next three years from AMOSO for the study, “Improving the management of hand fractures utilizing intramedullary screw fixation.

This research will explore innovative surgical approaches to stabilize hand fractures, with the goal of improving patient outcomes, recovery time and overall quality of care.
