Research

The Kidney Research Centre (KRC) was established in 2000 and is devoted to basic, translational and clinical investigation directed at the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease.

In 2006 KRC basic scientists moved into a new 15,000 sq ft laboratory facility within a new wing at Roger Guindon Hall, adjacent to the General Campus of The Ottawa Hospital (TOH).  This large infrastructure project was funded by a grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and the Ontario Innovation Trust (OIT), with support from the University of Ottawa, OHRI, TOH Foundation, and the private sector.  There are currently five scientists conducting laboratory research at the KRC facility – 3 are clinician scientists (Drs. K. Burns, R. Touyz, and T. Fairhead), and 2 are PhD scientists (Dr. R.L. Hébert and Dr. C. Kennedy).  Dr. K. Burns is Director of KRC, and recipient of a Research Chair award from the Department of Medicine.
