The Institute works in partnership with medical schools, universities, other research organizations, and industry to foster socio-economic development through R&D and commercialization of its advanced medical devices. NRC-IBD has five core research groups:
NRC-IBD operates two satellite facilities — NRC-IBD (West) in Calgary at the Calgary Foothills Hospital and NRC-IBD (Atlantic) in Halifax, a driving force in the Atlantic Canada neuroscience cluster. Both facilities focus on improved diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease. The NRC Centre for Commercialization of Biomedical Technology (NRC-CCBT), situated adjacent to the Institute, opened in October 2005. The Centre will be home to a wide range of individuals, firms, organizations, supporting commercialization through innovation support services and programs. |
