Welcome,
As President and Director of the Trudeau Institute, I would like to thank you for visiting our website. It is a great pleasure and an honor for me to be at the helm of the Trudeau Institute at such an exciting time in our development.
Since its founding in 1884, the Trudeau Institute has been committed to improving health through medical research. Today, 126 years later, the Trudeau Institute is home to eleven research teams, who all study some aspect of infection and immunity, but across a variety of different pathogens. Our studies focus not only on immune responses to major infectious diseases, such as influenza and tuberculosis, but also on the role of the immune system in cancer, autoimmunity, and aging. Scientists at Trudeau benefit from this blend that allows them access to colleagues with common interests but varied expertise and fosters a unique synergy that we feel is instrumental to our success.
All of us at Trudeau are dedicated to creating and maintaining a robust collaborative culture, which in part led to the Trudeau Institute’s impressive ranking at the top of a recent survey of Best Places for Postdoctoral Associates to Work conducted by the magazine, The Scientist. In a separate survey, the Trudeau Institute ranked among the top in an analysis of the impact of its published research papers.
The advances that our scientists make will lead to the development of improved vaccines and therapies for many of the devastating diseases that threaten people around the globe. I hope our website will help you to understand our mission and the global impact of our discoveries and that you will continue to visit us here to follow our progress.
Best wishes,
David L. Woodland, Ph.D.
President and Director, Trudeau Institute
