The Centre continues to conduct target recruiting in all research areas, and plans to recruit additional 12 research investigators within the next four years to join the current teams.
Number of Students
The CRHMR attaches fundamental importance to training and advancement programs for graduate and postgraduate students so that they may develop into qualified professionals poised to further scientific knowledge and to improve people’s health. It also provides an attractive work environment to students, who wish to study in a number of leading-edge biomedical research fields.
Since 2004, the total number of students increased by 16%.
Scientific Productivity
Communicating and circulating new skills and knowledge are at the very core of our scientific activities, and publications reflect the vitality and productivity of a research centre and its investigators.
Between 2004 and 2008, the total number of CRHMR publications increased by 30%, reaching a total of 76 publications for 2007-2008.
Recognized Funding from the Fonds de Recherche en Santé du Québec
The grants and awards that are allocated to CRHMR investigators and students by organizations consisting of peer committees are a testament to their vitality and to the acknowledgement they receive on behalf of the scientific community.
This funding, recognized by the FRSQ, has increased by 30% between 2004 and 2008, reaching close to $4 million.
In addition to this, the CRHMR and its research investigators were allocated additional funding of close to $40 million in 2007-2008 in recognition of their excellence, which was dedicated to supporting recruitment, financing research activities, purchasing equipment and building the Centre of Excellence for Cellular Therapy.
