Research at the Heart of our Mission

The Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont Research Centre is a major research centre focusing on cell and molecular therapy as well as on regenerative medicine. It is recognized namely for its three areas of excellence:

Researchers, students and professionals work closely to develop new therapies and solutions that bring hope to patients. Affiliated with the Université de Montréal, the Research Centre is recognized by the Fonds de recherche du Québec-Santé.

More Researchers, More Space, More Equipment

Owned by the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital Foundation, this former convent has been completely renovated and equipped to host Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont research teams.

Located on Rosemont Boulevard, across from the Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont’s Rosemont Pavilion, it is the new setting for HMR research. The Pavillon Claudine D’Amours makes it possible to welcome a greater number of researchers and therefore recruit new investigators who are capable of translating their discoveries into patient treatments.

The new pavilion offers more space, increasing the capacity of laboratories for clinical applications of cell therapy. The Pavilion provides them with more equipment, and in particular the cutting-edge technology essential for implementing avant-garde technologies.

Responding to the Pressing and Urgent Needs of Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont
