The Integrated Dialysis Center Raymond-Barcelo is not only the largest dialysis center on a single site in Quebec but also the 4th largest center internationally. It notably develops assisted peritoneal dialysis by nurses at the patient's home, as well as advanced expertise in glomerulopathies and arterial hypertension. Nephrology professionals stand out for the numerous research projects they conduct to develop treatments capable of treating renal failure and related diseases, including diabetes and arterial hypertension.

The teams at the HMR Research Center focus on renal failure within a scientific program that consolidates the fundamental, translational, and clinical continuum. Various clinical research projects are also being conducted, particularly related to advanced renal failure, transitions between dialysis modalities, arterial hypertension, as well as immunotherapy and cellular therapy in kidney transplantation.
