The Research Centre


Research is central to the MHI's mission.

It is a font of new ideas, a constant source of vigor and dynamism for the MHI.

The Institute's research interests range from prevention and rehabilitation right through to treatment.

A researcher at work


A hundred scientists - more than 60 experienced researchers and 50 fellows - work at the Research Center. They are divided into 19 teams working in basic research, 22 in clinical research and 10 in technological research.  In all, the Research Center has a staff of over 200.

Researchers have access to two digital angiography rooms and two sterile operating rooms.There are also facilities for transgenic mice and multi-purpose equipment for biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology.

Given the Institute's reputation in clinical and basic research, it is often called upon to work in partnership with private industry.
