CTB Technology Platforms

Accelerate your research!

The Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) has nine core facilities known as the Centre for Translational Biology (CTB) Technology Platforms. Each platform is managed by dedicated experts who will help you design, conduct and analyze the results of your experiments for your research project to be a success.

Their mission is to accelerate scientific research in the life sciences and to help researchers understand, treat and cure diseases by providing

access to state-of-the-art technologies and instrumentation;
top-level scientific expertise and training.

The platforms were established to support multidisciplinary discovery and innovation, making world-class research accessible to the research community at—and beyond—the RI-MUHC. They serve over 500 users and provide over 700 hours of training per year.
