We are
inspired by 
life

Our goal is simple and yet complex at the same time. We are working hard to better understand diseases in order to identify the best ways to treat them, and to achieve this we must work on multiple fronts. We offer clinical services that are unique to Quebec, we conduct cutting-edge research, and we train the next generation in research. Over time, our work has led to countless major discoveries recognized worldwide. We study life to better understand and protect it.

The guiding principles
that unite us

Human > Science

We use science to support health. Humans are our priority; science is our tool.

Collaboration > Silos

We believe in the power of collaboration. The multidisciplinary nature and independence of our researchers are strengths that we value. We strongly believe that collaboration produces the best scientific results.

Innovation > Statu quo

We are curious and results-driven. We aren’t satisfied with resting on our past achievements. We are constantly innovating and our greatest discoveries are still ahead of us.

An open
and inclusive environment

The IRCM is an inclusive and diverse workplace where many cultures enrich our daily lives. We respect and value differences. We are convinced that openness and the sharing of different points of view help create an ideal environment for research. We are proud to promote a workplace free of discrimination. Here, you will find a welcoming workplace where you can reach your full potential.

Your valued
contribution

Research is a process that feeds on collaboration and the exchange of ideas. The IRCM is a place where researchers, professionals, and students work together in a spirit of collegiality and where sharing different viewpoints is encouraged. We believe that everyone can contribute through their ideas and actions to the next great discovery that will take place within our walls.

« I really feel like I’m contributing to something
bigger than myself. I feel like I play a key role in
improving the health of all. »
