RESEARCH

The Windsor medical community is transitioning from being a regional centre of excellence to an established health sciences academic centre. A key focus in this transitioning step is high impact research. Our unit is dedicated to conducting purposeful clinical research with the aim of helping patients alongside our ever-growing collaborative research network in other institutions across Canada and abroad.

We are committed to providing the most innovative care using state-of-the-art technology and the latest research. Our research team is currently running a few clinical studies at the moment with future plans to be part of multi-centre randomized controlled trials with our international collaborators.
