The inner workings of our bodies often go unnoticed.
We don’t think of chronic illness, until it finds us. Diabetes and arthritis are a distant idea, until they become personal. Our immune system is an enigma, until we get sick.
For specialized teams of Lawson researchers, though, solving these problems is always front of mind.
In a city known as the birthplace of insulin, Lawson builds on a proud tradition of leadership in diabetes research and other endocrine disorders, through the Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism.
Our dedicated clinician scientists are digging at the origins of different forms of arthritis, and testing new and better ways of treating this often-debilitating illness.
In a region that has cultivated breakthrough science in probiotics and gut health, we are recognized trailblazers in understanding the human microbiome - an invisible community of micro-organisms that balances our immune system, breaks down and absorbs nutrients, and provides a barrier to disease-producing organisms.
We are pioneer researchers of fecal microbial transplants to help the body fight infection and disease.
We want to discover the deepest roots of what makes us well, or what makes us ill.
That’s more than an abstract idea for us – improving human health is the goal we strive for every day.
Lawson leads in understanding, preventing and solving complex chronic illness. Read more to see where it will lead you.
