Our outstanding researchers

Research will play a central role at the Glen, Mountain and Lachine campuses of the New MUHC. Our scientists will have more than 40,000 square metres of ultramodern facilities that will be the envy of their colleagues the world over. With the bulk of Research Institute activities moved to the Glen Campus, researchers will be close to doctors and patients, which will promote collaboration.
Flexible work spaces will be created based on researchers’ needs. Laboratories will have cutting-edge equipment and advanced medical computer systems to help researchers perform advanced analyses and collaborate with their colleagues around the world.

These new facilities will include the Centre for Innovative Medicine, which will specialize in clinical trials to let MUHC researchers translate their most promising discoveries into new treatments.
Thanks to the Centre for Translational Biology, researchers will be able to apply amazing discoveries in genetics and epigenetics to major medical problems, such as congenital defects in children.

The construction of research facilities at the Glen Campus will be made possible thanks to a generous grant of $100 million from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, supplemented by $100 million from the Government of Quebec and $50 million from donors.
