You may be surprised to know that Audra Geras is also a successful fine artist working in a style she has named 'evocative abstract expression'.
We invite you to take a look at the flip side of Audra's work at her recently updated new website: www.audragerasfineart.com
Biotechnology firm, Trillium Therapeutics Inc., has now settled into its beautifully designed new facility and we are excited to announce that Trillium's new home hosts a permanent collection of Audra's science-based fine art. Audra's large format paintings on canvas were commissioned by Trillium to correspond to the specific areas of research and development that form the focus of Trillium's work. This is a growing collection as Audra is currently working on several dramatic new paintings for Trillium. Several of Audra's evocative abstract paintings are included in the collection.
Audra and her husband, Dr. Niclas Stiernholm, attended the 2016 Canada Gairdner Awards honoring some of the most important global medical discoveries. The Awards ceremony and dinner was once again held at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto. This year 5 of the 7 $100,000.00 awards were given to researchers focused on a single subject, CRSPR technology.

"The Gairdner Awards are an overwhelmingly emotional celebration of excellence, and it was a real privilege and honor to be there again this year to hear this incredible group of international scientists speak, and to watch them receive the Gairdner. Humbling and inspirational."
The Gairdner Award is known as a Nobel Prize predictor and indeed one of last year's winners, Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi of Japan, won this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology for his ground-breaking work on autophagy.
