Inflammation and Chronic Disease Program
Our research touches on everything from basic science to improve our understanding of immune mechanisms in chronic diseases, to developing and testing new treatments, to implementing more effective care processes.
Inflammation and Chronic Disease Program
The Inflammation and Chronic Disease Program includes 50 scientists and 214 investigators, along with their research trainees and staff.
Scientists
These researchers have PhDs, MDs or both and devote at least 40 per cent of their time to research (but typically more than 75 per cent). All our scientists are also professors at the University of Ottawa and many are active clinicians at The Ottawa Hospital.
