Translational Research Centre

Bridging Clinical Care + Life Saving Health Research

 

About Us


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.
