Summary
An Oakville couple, Frank and Janice Lochlan, have donated $4.1 million to Western University to advance research on neurodegenerative diseases—driven by personal tragedy and a deep desire to transform lives. Their gift, matched by the university, creates an $8 million endowed chair focused on neuroimaging for brain health, aiming to attract top scientists and develop breakthroughs for Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and more. They also established a $100,000 postdoctoral fellowship fund to empower cutting-edge neuroscience research. Inspired by the passion of Western’s scientists, the Lochlans see this as a beacon of hope, turning grief into a powerful force for healing and progress.
