The Juravinski Cancer Centre operates on a philosophy that combines high quality, evidence-based treatment, compassionate care, education and research. Researchers at the JCC, in partnership with McMaster University, are international leaders in this field, making significant contributions to the growing body of knowledge about cancer treatment and control around the world.
As an academic health sciences centre, the JCC is actively involved in educating and mentoring the next generation of physicians, health professionals and researchers.
Through the Escarpment Cancer Research Institute (ECRI), a joint HHS and McMaster University research institute, cancer research is also conducted in the core areas of translational research, clinical trials, and quality of health care/knowledge translation by multidisciplinary teams.
The McMaster Institute of Applied Radiation Sciences (McIARS) exists to promote interdisciplinary research. In particular, to promote research in radiation science and engineering applied to biology, medicine and industry. McIARS aims to be a meeting point of industry, government and academia centred at a research intensive university.
The desired effect of McIARS is to facilitate the process of enquiry and discovery by lowering the barriers between disciplines, between institutions, between sectors and by reaching across national boundaries.
The Henderson Research Centre was established in 1988 as a joint initiative of the Hamilton Civic Hospitals (now part of the Hamilton Health Sciences) and McMaster University. In 2010, it moved to the David Braley Research Institute and was renamed the Thrombosis and Atherosclerosis Research Institute. Its mission is “to reduce death and disability from thrombotic diseases by conducting research into the pathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of thrombosis and vascular disease”.
