The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation Innovation Laboratories is a key piece of research infrastructure aimed at accelerating scientific discovery for children’s health. Located on the University of Alberta’s North Campus, this advanced research space is essential for discovery research and a cornerstone for pediatric clinical trials. By housing critical programs within the Women and Children’s Health Research Institute (WCHRI), the Innovation Laboratories enable research that is crucial for understanding disease mechanisms and developing new treatments. Key WCHRI programs operating here include the Translational Genomics Hub (which fast-tracks gene discovery for rare diseases) and the Stem Cell Core (which uses advanced organoid models to study human development). This centralized, state-of-the-art environment is vital to the development of novel therapies and diagnostics for children.
