the lung and the intestine. Tied to this main
objective, the Institute aims to:
- unite basic and clinical scientists
from diverse backgrounds and foster collaborations
locally, regionally, nationally and internationally
- conduct and translate research
to improve the health and healthcare of the
population
- train the next generation of
research leaders and provide them with the culture,
intellectual stimulation and opportunity to
significantly influence the future of science
and health care
- foster relationships with relevant
private sector partners such as the pharmaceutical
and imaging industries
