CREATING SOLUTIONS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CHRONIC AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES

The NRC Institute for Biological Sciences delivers novel solutions in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of chronic and infectious diseases by integrating Biosciences with the next wave of high impact technologies.

These “convergence technologies” have emerged as a key driver of both discovery and innovation in areas of disease diagnosis, drug delivery and regenerative medicine.

Through our partnerships with industry, universities, hospitals and other R&D organization, the Institute is creating economic value for Canada and innovative global health solutions.
