麻豆社 and partners inaugurate new health care research centre

Canadians from coast to coast have a big reason to celebrate today. 麻豆社 inaugurated a new research powerhouse at 740 Dr. Penfield Ave. that will advance health care for everyone.

The six-storey structure, an integral part of the 麻豆社 Health Centre, was constructed and partially outfitted at a cost of $31.6 million to help satisfy pressing demands for modern and cross-disciplinary research space. Occupants of 740 Dr. Penfield 鈥� star researchers dedicated to advancing genomics, proteomics and bone research -- will investigate remedies for diseases including cancer, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Four scientific groups will share 100,000 square feet in the new facilities: the 麻豆社 and G茅nome Qu茅bec Innovation Centre (formerly known as the Montreal Genome Centre), the R茅seau Prot茅omique de Montr茅al / Montreal Proteomics Network, the Centre for Bone and Periodontal Research /Jamson T.N. Wong Laboratories for Bone and Periodontal Research, as well as five bio-business incubators, which include the William H. Donner Laboratories for Biotechnology. (Fact sheets explaining group mandates are available at ).

Construction of 740 Dr. Penfield Ave. was realized thanks to the vision and generous support of many partners:
