The Québec Heart and Lung Institute Research Centre affiliated with Université Laval (CRIUCPQ–UL) is a key international player in the fight against chronic diseases.
Its areas of research include cardiology, pneumology, and obesity/metabolism—three areas deemed high priority worldwide given the considerable economic and social impacts of the diseases associated with them.
Recent research has demonstrated the microbiome’s role in the etiology of these diseases. In its quest to remain a highly competitive, world-class research centre, IUCPQ – UL plans to play a vital role in developing cutting-edge facilities and expertise to support research on the microbiome.
