CHU Sainte-Justine Research Centre

Driven by a passion for excellence, we are committed to making Quebec into a place where the health of mothers-to-be, children and youth ranks among the best in the world. With this in mind, we are intent on advancing knowledge and applying new research findings in order to translate new discoveries into more efficient and less invasive methods and devices aimed at disease prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and long-term follow-up starting at conception and continuing throughout the journey to adulthood. In recent years, various sources of government and philanthropic funding have paved the way for new leading-edge infrastructure and the development of large-scale national and international networks, cementing our leadership with regard to innovative, multidisciplinary research in mother-and-child health in Quebec. The CHU Sainte-Justine Research Centre boasts a team of over 1,200 individuals, made up of more than 210 researchers (including more than 110 clinicians) and 450 graduate and postgraduate students in a variety of areas of expertise. Working closely with Sainte-Justine University Hospital Centre's healthcare teams, we are dedicated to basic, clinical and translational research across six research axes. research.chusj.org
