Translational Research Centre

The Translational Research Centre (TRC) promotes knowledge and scientific development by improving communication between the clinic and laboratory. The TRC mandate includes supporting researchers with their studies by providing bioethics support and assisting in the procurement of patient tissue specimens with correlative clinical data. The TRC is primarily funded by the Children’s Health Foundation and the Lawson Health Research Institute.

The TRC is a critical resource supporting investigations on the biological basis of disease.

Coordinating laboratory studies with clinical medicine improves dialogue between researchers and clinicians to increase potential for therapeutic regimen development, expanded treatment options, and ultimately, remedies for disease.

- Dr. Douglas Fraser, TRC Director
