Testimonials
In September, it was my distinct pleasure
to visit once again with Dr. Claudio Cuello and his research
group in McGill University’s Department of Pharmacology. The
group is vibrant in its research efforts to understand and
hopefully develop medical treatment for the debilitating
Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The support by the Frosst family
with Merck Frosst Canada in the endowment that funds the
Research Chair for Dr. Cuello and the Postdoctoral Fellowshp
that provides the funding for Dr. Fabio Canneva is
appreciated greatly by the team.

- Dr. Alan Frosst, September 2009
“As a D.Phil. mentor and subsequently postdoc
mentor/supervisor, Claudio was inspirational and
alwayssupportive, providing just the right amount of
direction and freedom to pursue my own ideas and interests
in the lab. However, more than that and from my earliest
interactions with him hewas a warm friend and treated me, as
well as other postdocs and students I came to know in his
McGill lab, as colleagues“

“I think Claudio is
very deserving of the prize. He was my PhD mentor, but he
meant more than that to me. I felt guided and, in a way,
protected by him not only academically but personally. He
was, and is, a role model for me and I can only hope I can
mentor my students, residents, and fellows as he mentored
me. I am very proud to have been his student.”

“…most of all I have
memories of being part of a family, with Claudio warmly
supportive of all its members. Many years later, when I gave
my inaugural lecture as Professor of Cell Biology at Barts
and The London, Claudio sent a fabulous bouquet of flowers,
typical of his ongoing support and affection. I warmly
commend his nomination to you.”
John Priestley
Professor of Cell Biology
in the Neuroscience Centre at Barts and The London School of
Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London
“I view him as one of
the few scientists that proudly carried the torch of
Neuroanatomy into the modern era and one that has had an
enormous, yet perhaps not appreciated, influence in all of
Neuroscience, through the dissemination of
immunocytochemical techniques and the pointed observations
and discoveries made in this career. I think he has made
fundamental contributions to neuroscience and well deserves
this award.”
Rafael Yuste
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Columbia University
“Claudio has been one
of the most important influencers on my career. As my thesis
supervisor, professor and mentor he has played a key role in
any success that I have achieved. His unwavering spirit of
enthusiasm for science was inspirational in fostering my own
desire to work towards advancing science...“
