The CHU de Québec-Université Laval (CHU) officially inaugurated its new research center, a key component of the new hospital complex. Representing an investment of approximately $90 million, this component marks a major step forward in the project’s development and represents an additional lever to make the CHU a leader in precision medicine research.
The new research center building represents a strategic pillar for the future of healthcare, focusing its efforts on cutting-edge fields such as oncology, endocrinology, and nephrology. The research center will also pave the way for revolutionary new approaches and targeted therapies, offering unprecedented opportunities for more personalized and tailored treatments.
“Together, we have accomplished something truly extraordinary. This journey, marked by challenges overcome and milestones achieved, is a testament to the collective strength of our team. The research center embodies the future of medicine, both in Quebec and internationally, by providing fertile ground for major discoveries that will have an impact on health worldwide,” said Martin Beaumont, CEO of the CHU de Québec-Université Laval.
The research center is distinguished by a modern and collaborative approach, placing particular emphasis on innovation and synergy between researchers and physicians. Thanks to its close proximity to the Integrated Cancer Center building, clinical and research activities complement and enrich each other, creating an environment conducive to accelerated discoveries and patient access to new treatments.
“This new, state-of-the-art research center allows us to consolidate our position as an international leader in research. It will enable our teams to continue pushing the boundaries of science by exploring complex and diverse fields, while providing a bright and stimulating environment for our community,” said Serge Rivest, Director of the CHU de Québec-Université Laval Research Center.
