The fund will support collaborations between research teams in diagnostic and interventional radiology, cardiology and cardiac surgery to work closely with imaging scientists at the Lawson Health Research Institute, the research institute of LHSC and St. Joseph’s, and the Robarts Research Institute, at Western University. These teams will work with scientists from Siemens Healthineers to focus on improving both the patient experience and the outcomes in important cardiovascular and neurological diseases. The research funds will be leveraged against Provincial and Federal research grants to increase the funds available to the research teams.
