Who We Are

The Research Institute of St. Joe’s – Hamilton oversees the work of over 700 researchers, staff members, learners, and fellows as they carry out clinical, translational, evaluative, and fundamental research. Our Hospital has a long and celebrated history of impactful research, which continues to improve diagnostics, care, and treatment for patients in our community and across the globe.

Since its inception in 2014, The Research Institute has become a leader in collaborative translational research. Known as the bench-to-bedside approach, this innovative method of conducting research allows scientists working in our labs to make the latest advancements available to clinicians for patient care, all within the walls of our Hospital.

St. Joe’s researchers are helping to improve patient quality of life and the quality of care provided by health care professionals. We are an integral partner within Hamilton’s growing health innovation community, where we are working to transform the way medicine is practiced.
