Overview of the Montreal Diabetes Research Center
Diabetes mellitus is a devastating disease, which is reaching epidemic proportions
throughout the world. The Montreal Diabetes Research Center (MDRC) consists of a group of leading-edge
scientists mainly located in the Montreal area, but also Quebec City, Sherbrooke and Ottawa, who perform
basic, clinical and population health research in the fields of diabetes and its complications, as well
as obesity and the metabolic syndrome.
More specifically, the MDRC regroups 52 research teams of basic scientists and
clinicians from six universities (Universit� de Montr�al, McGill University, Universit� du Qu�bec �
Montr�al, Universit� Laval, Universit� de Sherbrooke, University of Ottawa) working in various aspects of
both type 1 and 2 diabetes and their complications as well as cardiometabolic disorders. The MDRC was
created in 2005 thanks to a major Canada Foundation of Innovation (CFI) infrastructure grant with Dr Marc
Prentki as lead investigator. Two subsequent leading-edge CFI infrastructure grants were awarded to the MDRC
in 2008 and 2013. The objective of the MDRC is to foster innovative basic, applied and clinical diabetes
research and to provide an exceptional student training environment.
See our report of activities 2005-2014 for an overview of the MDRC
(PDF).
Vision
As a leading-edge diabetes research center in Canada and worldwide in which basic,
applied and clinical research are integrated, we search to understand the mechanisms implicated in
diabetes and its complications and wish to very significantly contribute to its prevention, treatment
and cure.
Mission
By bringing together multidisciplinary teams of researchers from six universities and
their affiliated hospitals, the ultimate goals of the MDRC are to:
- Improve diabetes patients� care and clinical outcomes by fostering innovative
multi-disciplinary research and synergistic collaborations.
- Provide enabling research infrastructures, funding, communication and administrative
supports as well as strategic and scientific leadership.
- Develop partnerships with other diabetes centers, industry and diabetes
organizations.
- Foster exceptional training of students and young investigators in a stimulatory
environment.
The MDRC is supported directly by the
Canada Foundation for Innovation, Universit� de Montr�al and
McGill University; and indirectly by the
Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the
US National Institutes of Health and the
Canadian Diabetes Association.
