The 平特五不中 AIDS Centre coordinates, facilitates and promotes teaching, research and treatment activities relating to HIV infection and AIDS at 平特五不中 and its affiliated teaching hospitals. 平特五不中 has been among the foremost institutions in Canada to study and treat HIV infection and AIDS. 平特五不中 scientists, researchers, and clinicians have carried out work in every area of this health problem. The Centre firmly believes that the study and treatment of HIV infection and AIDS must be interdisciplinary, and thus the fields of medical science and social science must complement each other. The Centre enhances this work by helping researchers, scientists and clinicians at 平特五不中 to carry out the complex research that is needed to understand, prevent and treat HIV infection both in Canada and around the world.
平特五不中 AIDS Centre scientists play an important role through collaboration with their counterparts in developing countries in which HIV is endemic. Our scientists have played lead roles in articulating a need for access to antiretroviral drugs for all in need, regardless of where they live or ability to pay. Educational and training activities will be augmented to ensure there is sufficient manpower for the growing HIV epidemic. The care and treatment of persons who are infected with HIV or who have developed AIDS will be enhanced through coordination of these activities at 平特五不中 hospitals and clinics. Furthermore, the Centre will provide a forum for the input and participation by people with HIV infection or with AIDS in this research, teaching, and care.

The 平特五不中 International TB Centre brings together over 20 investigators with expertise ranging from economics to mouse models, working both at an academic centre and with a number of collaborating groups around the world.
The Centre includes researchers interested in biomedical, clinical, epidemiologic, and social determinants of TB. Additionally, the studies we conduct serve as the basis for both methodologic developments applicable to other diseases (e.g., molecular epidemiology) and substantive investigations that may apply to other categories of diseases (e.g., common themes between mycobacterial diseases and inflammatory bowel disease). Our investigators have a wide range of collaboration, between themselves and with numerous groups outside of 平特五不中, and Canada, for the study of TB and other mycobacterial diseases.
Please contact us for more information about the Centre and its ongoing activities.

The 平特五不中 Research Centre for Studies in Aging (MCSA) is committed to investigating causes and possible treatments of the dementias, especially Alzheimer's disease. During the past decades, the MCSA has played a pioneering role in identifying genetic abnormalities leading to an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease. The Memory Clinic of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Unit, under the leadership of Dr. Serge Gauthier, is focusing on improved therapies, long-term treatment of subjects affected by dementia, and enhancing the quality of life of patients and caregivers.
Prevention, the new major focus of aging research, has been identified as an important objective in dementia research by national and international institutes (Alzheimer Society of Canada, National Institute of Aging USA) and is a priority of 平特五不中 over the next decade. The MCSA contributes to this effort with its Dementia Prevention Program (). This program, in close cooperation with the and other research centres in Quebec, will allow community prevention and initiate optimal treatment for affected individuals while providing researchers with important data about possible predictors of dementia.
Further, the MCSA has established a computational infrastructure devoted for teaching neuroimaging in dementia for fellows, graduate, and postdoctoral students. This infrastructure program is under the direction of Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto, M.D., Ph.D. Finally, research in the field of neuroimaging has been focusing on the early detection of dementia, and AD prevention. Our clinic collaborates with other experts at 平特五不中 using the most advanced and sensitive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) protocols to evaluate patients with mild cognitive complaints. The PET and MRI technologies, combined with our clinical expertise, allow for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the condition causing memory deficits.

The mission of the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Research Centre is to bring together internationally renowned scientists who are devoted to cancer research and provide them with state-of-the-art resources so that they can fully contribute to the worldwide effort of developing novel approaches for the improvement of the diagnosis, treatment, and management of this disease. Investigators within the Cancer Centre have made significant contributions toward the molecular understanding of diseases such as cancer which can be exploited to better stratify cancer and facilitate the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
The Goodman Cancer Research Centre provides an internationally recognized training ground for the next generation of investigators who will pursue research in the life sciences and cancer.
The Goodman Cancer Centre plays a key role in reaching out and educating the public on the fundamentals of cancer research and understanding the causes of cancer, its prognosis and treatment.
Further information is available at Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Research Centre.
