KHSC Research Institute

KHSC-RI: Research. Collaboration. Innovation 

We are a not-for-profit academic health research institute and a collaborative partner with Kingston Health Sciences Centre, Providence Care and Queen’s University. At KHSC-RI, more than 350 investigators are conducting innovative research with global impact in brain, heart, lung, neurological and blood disorders, allergy, digestive diseases and pain, among others. 

The Kingston Health Sciences Centre research community comprises a distinctive discovery hub that nurtures multidisciplinary approaches to solving big problems. From national and international networks to innovative labs, clinician-scientists team up with colleagues in basic sciences, engineering, computing, nursing and social sciences to encourage new perspectives, advance knowledge and train the next generation of highly qualified personnel. 

Why does research matter? 

Research creates and advances knowledge that transforms medical discovery into new treatments, cures and better patient care.    

Our research is improving lives in some of the poorest regions in the world, developing new tools for diagnosing and treating disease, using data to better understand the human body and training the next generation of healthcare professionals.  

We are bringing scientists from medicine, engineering and computer science together to develop new medical interventions.
