About The Foundation
A FOUNDATION BUILT IN HONOR OF ALEXANDRE
Alexandre Parks was a young scientist whose passion for science and medical research shaped the vision of the Foundation that bears his name.
His journey through a rare autoimmune disease strengthened his determination to understand, learn, and contribute to medical research.
Today, his legacy continues through the work of the Fondation Alexandre-Parks.
FROM ALEXANDRE’S JOURNEY TO OUR PURPOSE
Alexandre’s passion for science continues to shape the work of the Fondation Alexandre-Parks.
We offer Alexandre-Parks Doctoral Scholarships to PhD students pursuing local medical research in areas connected to Alexandre’s journey, including autoimmune enteropathy, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, breast cancer, and pulmonary fibrosis.
WHY LOCAL RESEARCH MATTERS
