Two Hamilton Health Sciences Physician-Researchers Named Canada Research Chairs
Published
Two physician-researchers at Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) in Ontario have been awarded Canada Research Chairs. The honour is a national recognition of research excellence.
The Canada Research Chairs program is a federal initiative that supports leading researchers at Canadian universities and affiliated research hospitals. Chairs receive funding to carry out their research, and the program aims to help Canada attract and keep top researchers in areas that matter to the country's future.
Both recipients are physicians who also conduct research. Their work combines clinical care with scientific study, which allows them to apply research findings directly to patient care. Hamilton Health Sciences is one of Canada's major hospital and research organizations, and it is affiliated with McMaster University in Hamilton.
The announcement shows the strength of research at Hamilton Health Sciences and its role in Canada's health research community. The new chairs are expected to contribute to advances in medical knowledge and to the training of future researchers and health professionals.
