Research and Innovation

Together with hospital-affiliated research institute partners, the Faculty of Medicine is an international leader in basic and clinical research, dedicated to improving health and healthcare in Canada and worldwide.

Advanced Medical Research Centre

Located on the Faculty of Medicine campus adjacent to major hospitals, the Advanced Medical Research Centre will serve as a dynamic hub for collaboration between researchers, clinicians and industry partners.  

The seven-storey, 350,000 square foot facility will also house the Ottawa Health Innovation Hub, a signature initiative designed to incubate startups, develop novel therapies and accelerate the translation of research into real-world health-care solutions. 

Ottawa Academic Health Network

The Ottawa Academic Health Network (OAHN) is a newly established alliance of leading partners, including the teaching and research hospitals affiliated with the University of Ottawa. The network is designed to foster collaboration in research, elevate Ottawa’s reputation as a hub for health innovation, and strengthen our world-class health education ecosystem.  

By bridging the gap between discovery and practice, OAHN helps ensure that breakthroughs in health research translate more rapidly into improved care, enhanced training, and better outcomes for patients.
