From the website (http://www.robarts.ca/):
Welcome to Robarts Research Institute
At Robarts Research Institute we’ve made it our mission to accelerate medical discovery. Right now, our scientists are conducting basic and clinical research that will have an impact on many of today’s most devastating diseases. This remarkable science is driven by a common philosophy: to bring medical discoveries and new technologies faster to clinical trial, faster to market, and, ultimately, faster to you.
Opened in 1986, Robarts Research Institute at Western University is a medical research facility in London, Ontario, with more than 600 people working to investigate some of the most debilitating diseases of our time, from heart disease and stroke to diabetes, Alzheimer’s and many forms of cancer.
We believe we’ve got a winning formula to accelerate medical discovery: attract the brightest and best people, give them the freedom to think big and set the bar high.
From our roots under the scientific leadership of renowned neurologist Dr. Henry Barnett - whose work with Aspirin as a preventive therapy for heart attack and stroke remains one of the most important developments in 20th century medicine - the Institute has applied that formula to become a national leader in biological, clinical and imaging research.
Some quick facts about Robarts:
• Key strengths in advanced medical imaging, cellular and molecular biology, genomics, immunology and stem cell biology.
