James Hogg Research Centre
The James Hogg Research Centre at St. Paul’s Hospital, is a UBC research centre supported collaboratively by the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine and Providence Health Care and is an affiliated Centre in the Institute for Heart + Lung Health (IHLH).
Lead by Director, Dr. Bruce McManus and Associate Director, Dr. Darryl Knight, investigators and trainees at the James Hogg Research Centre are using the best available technology to image and measure changes in molecules, cells, tissues, organs and whole organisms, including patients, in order to understand the link between our genes and the environment, in causing heart, lung, and blood vessel diseases.
