Through the generosity of donors and the commitment of the IRCM Foundation, philanthropic chairs help support cutting-edge research programs. These chairs empower our researchers to pursue groundbreaking work while ensuring the sustainability and independence of biomedical research at the IRCM.
Created in 2025 through the support of the family of the Honourable Brian Mulroney, the Mila and Brian Mulroney Philanthropic Chair in Diabetes at the IRCM funds multidisciplinary initiatives aimed at preventing diabetes, alleviating its burden and advancing its cure. Focusing notably on type 1 diabetes, LADA and CFRD, it brings together six complementary teams in medicine, nutrition, kinesiology and molecular biology, based at the IRCM, the CHUM, the CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’Île-de-Montréal and two Montreal universities.
Co-leaders: Marie Kmita and Jacques Drouin
Many diseases and developmental malformations are caused by errors in the genetic code, but how exactly these errors lead to the pathological manifestations remains unclear. With recent advances in molecular biology, the development of therapies to correct genetic errors is more realistic than ever. To reach this goal, scientists in our center work to understand how genes function and are regulated and how this can go wrong in various diseases. Some experts in this center specifically focus on understanding the origins and developing treatments for various neurological diseases while others focus on congenital malformations that originate during fetal development as a conse-quence of genetic mutations or defective control of gene activity.

The 3i Centre brings together fundamental and clinician scientists with complementary expertise in immunity, inflammation, microbiology and infectious diseases. Its goals are to understand how the normal immune system works; to elucidate how diseases of the immune system develop; and to develop new means to modulate or harness the immune system to treat human diseases such as immunodeficiencies, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, metabolic diseases, in-fections, and cancers. We use state-of-the-art technologies including genetics, genomics, prote-omics, cell biology and mouse models of human diseases, benefiting from the Primary Immunode-ficiencies Clinic at the IRCM. Our studies also include understanding cancers that develop from immune cells, like lymphoma and leukemia, determining how the microbiota and nutrition impact inflammation and immune responses, and uncovering the pathophysiology underlying viral infec-tions and post-viral conditions. While based at the IRCM, the 3i Centre collaborates with research-ers from other institutions in Montreal, Canada and across the world.
