Lawson Research Institute is discovery-driven and patient-focused
Excellent patient care stems from outstanding health research.
At Lawson Research Institute we are revolutionizing health care through discoveries that transform lives and communities.
As the research arm and integral partner with St. Joseph’s Health Care London, Lawson is one of Canada’s premier health research institutes. For more than 40 years, a culture of curiosity and innovation has propelled Lawson to become a renowned leader in research that is making a difference in patient lives here and around the globe:
- We conducted the world’s first non-invasive images measuring blood flow to the brain and were the first research site in Canada with PET/MRI and PET/CT scanners – the latest version now diagnosing complex conditions better and faster than any other in the country.
- We’re international pioneers in the causes and early treatment of dementia.
- Innovators in probiotics for a healthy immune system, diabetes care and surgical interventions.
- Trailblazers in mental health research, and in understanding strokes, brain injury and rehabilitation.
This is Lawson.
We’re driven by the conviction that patient care improves when research includes everyone, everywhere.
That’s why Lawson’s 250 scientists and associate scientists – along with hundreds of other staff members, physicians, students, patients, donors, and academic and funding partners – are laser-focused on embedding research into the work of improving health for all.
