Discoveries for life

The faces of health research

Welcome to CIHR's health research storybook, where you can read about the life-changing research happening right here in Canada – presented by researchers and patients in their own words.

Hear from researchers about why they pursued a career in health research, and learn about the health problems they're tackling and the new scientific knowledge they're creating.

You can also read the stories of patients who have been involved in or touched by health research.

Be sure to check back often, as we'll be adding new stories all the time.

To submit a story, send your submission, photo and feedback to: communications@cihr-irsc.gc.ca. First, please review the submission details.
