Neuroscience Program
The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Neuroscience Program has a unique culture of collaboration between basic and clinical researchers, inspired by the patient experience.
Neuroscience Program
The Neuroscience Program includes 27 scientists and 124 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.
