Did you hear the news? Lawson Health Research Institute has transitioned into two new research institutes! This account is no longer active. For LHSC research content follow London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute (LHSCRI) and for St. Joseph’s research content follow St. Joseph's Health Care London.

What happens behind-the-scenes in a personalized medicine lab? Find out tomorrow! Join researchers like Dr. Richard Kim as we and St. Joseph's Health Care London launch the future of hospital-based research in London! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gMFB9-_X

We’re just one day away from the future of health research – are you ready? Join St. Joseph’s and London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) as we share with you the most innovative work happening in our organizations. At St. Joseph’s, see how our researchers are changing the game in dementia research, how VR goggles are simulating the outdoors for those who can’t get outside, and more. We’re excited to embark on this new chapter with you – join us tomorrow, October 16, for the research launch event: https://bit.ly/4cE03tG

The research being done at St. Joseph’s is innovative, yes, but it’s also life changing in ways you may not consider. In less than a week, research across the organization will be on display for you to see – like the MINDS 2.0 work giving youth and people up to 35 experiencing mental health and addiction challenges an outlet to tell their stories. Visit our research launch event with London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) on October 16 to learn more about this research, and the other groundbreaking work taking place at St. Joseph’s: https://bit.ly/4cE03tG

How is research improving treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? Find out on October 16!      We’re less than a week away from our research launch event with St. Joseph's Health Care London.   As part of the event, Dr. Ruth Lanius will be taking us behind the scenes of her mental health research at University Hospital, including imaging research she does in partnership with Robarts Research Institute, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry.     Join us as we showcase the legacy and future of hospital-based research in London.     Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gMFB9-_X 

New research is looking at how to improve outcomes for people who inject drugs and experience a serious, but treatable heart valve infection.

Congratulations to Dr. Saman Maleki on the support for this innovative project. London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC)

In London, more than 1,700 people are experiencing homelessness. At LHSC, we know that housing is health care and we are proud to be one of 70 organizations from across the city to collaborate on the development of the Health & Homelessness Whole of Community System Response. The Whole of Community Response is a strategic roadmap for supporting unhoused people who have the most complex health and social support challenges and helping them access permanent housing that meets their needs. How well is the roadmap working? A team of researchers has been tasked with finding out.

Researchers at Lawson and Western University have found a new brain imaging technique appears to be able to detect whether patients who are unresponsive following a severe brain injury can feel pain, hear their surroundings and retain conscious awareness. The team used functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a portable brain imaging technique, to learn whether patients that appear to be in a coma in the ICU had preserved consciousness by recording brain activity at their bedside.
