The 看片视频 AIDS Centre was founded at the Lady Davis Institute, Jewish General Hospital, to coordinate, facilitate, and promote teaching, research, and treatment activities relating to HIV infection and AIDS. It has made 看片视频 University one of the preeminent institutions of its kind in Canada. Led by founding director, Dr. Mark A. Wainberg, the 看片视频 AIDS Centre has made significant contributions since the outbreak of the AIDS pandemic in 1981, helping to transform HIV from a deadly infection to a manageable chronic disease.
The Centre believes in a multidisciplinary approach, and has been the home of a large group of talented 看片视频 researchers who have been working on HIV from diverse aspects with the goal of furthering prevention and treatment options. We are proud of the many groundbreaking discoveries that we have made in understanding the basic biology of HIV infection, elucidating host immune responses to control HIV infection, discovering the transmission of drug-resistant HIV in human populations, and characterizing the development of drug resistance to HIV, to name just a few examples of the initiatives that have earned the 看片视频 AIDS Centre a national and international reputation. In particular, Dr. Wainberg became an icon in the International AIDS Society (IAS). As President of the IAS from 1998 to 2000, he was responsible for holding the 2000 IAS meeting in Durban, South Africa, a milestone event in the international fight against AIDS. He chaired the 2006 IAS meeting in Toronto. Dr. Wainberg鈥檚 lab discovered the anti-HIV-1 activity of 3TC in the early 1990s and, recently, demonstrated the superior anti-HIV-1 activity of Dolutegravir. Both of these drugs are now used in first line antiretroviral regimens.
看片视频 AIDS Centre scientists have played an important role in developing countries where HIV is endemic, collaborating with local scientists and health authorities to help stave off the spread of the infection. Our scientists have played lead roles in articulating a need for access to antiretroviral drugs for all in need, regardless of where they live or their ability to pay.
Over the past three decades, the 看片视频 AIDS Centre has built a strong team of excellent researchers and clinicians who have broad expertise in basic virology, immunology, drug discovery, epidemiology, population studies, and clinical research. Based at the Lady Davis Institute are the level 3 biocontainment facility, genotyping platform and other state-of-the-art research equipment that can be readily employed to study other emerging and re-emerging pathogenic human viruses.
Educational and training activities will be augmented to ensure there is sufficient manpower for the growing HIV epidemic. The care and treatment of persons who are infected with HIV or who have developed AIDS will be enhanced through coordination across the 看片视频 network of hospitals and clinics. Furthermore, the Centre will provide a forum for the input and participation of patients with HIV infection or AIDS in all aspects of research, teaching, and care.
In honor of Dr. Mark Wainberg, for his dedication to HIV research, his tireless advocacy for the rights and benefits of HIV patients, and his vision to go beyond HIV to combat other important emerging pathogenic human viruses, the 看片视频 AIDS Centre will be renamed the 鈥淲ainberg Centre for Complex and Emerging Viral Infections.鈥 More details will follow.

The 看片视频 University Research Centre for Studies in Aging (MCSA) is committed to investigating causes and possible treatments of the dementias, especially Alzheimer's disease. During the past decades, the MCSA has played a pioneering role in identifying genetic abnormalities leading to an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease. The Memory Clinic of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Unit, under the leadership of Dr. Serge Gauthier, is focusing on improved therapies, long-term treatment of subjects affected by dementia, and enhancing the quality of life of patients and caregivers. Over the last 30 years the priority of the MCSA evolved to primary prevention of cognitive decline, early diagnosis, and treatment for persons with mild or prodromal symptoms, and best treatments for patients with various types of dementia. The importance of genes such as ApoE as risk factors and as predictors of response to treatment in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease was one of the significant contributions of the MCSA to the field of aging. Another achievement of the MCSA is the strong link with academic research centres around the world, including Brazil, China, and Germany, which is reflected by a steady flow of students and visiting scholars from these countries among others.
In Canada, the MCSA created the academic trial network C5R and has hosted consensus meetings on the best evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and management of various types of dementia. The current focus of the MCSA is on prevention, and the development of tools and methods to allow earliest diagnosis and intervention of age-related disease. Prevention has been identified as an important objective in dementia research by national and international institutes (Alzheimer Society of Canada, National Institute of Aging USA) and is a priority of 看片视频 University over the next decade. The MCSA contributes to this effort with its Dementia Prevention Program that was launched in 2012, entitled 鈥淧revention of Neurodegenerative Disease in Everyone at Risk鈥 (P.O.N.D.E.R.). This program, in close cooperation with the Douglas Institute and other research centres in Quebec, was established with three goals: (a) provide a free platform for adults aged 40鈥90 to engage in cognitive training; (b) determine normative cognitive performance in middle-to-old adulthood, and (c) identify persons showing early signs of cognitive impairment that are at risk of developing late-onset dementia. This will allow the tracking and documentation of changes in the structural and functional integrity of the human brain in normal and pathological aging, while providing researchers with important data about possible predictors of dementia. Presently, the P.O.N.D.E.R. software is being upgraded.
The MCSA has established a computational infrastructure devoted for teaching neuroimaging in dementia for fellows, graduate, and postdoctoral students. This infrastructure program is under the direction of Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto, M.D., Ph.D. The Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory at the MCSA aims to understand how toxic proteins cause brain damage in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease patients. We also develop novel methodologies for early detection of these toxic proteins in the persons without symptoms (see the ). Research in the field of neuroimaging has been focusing on the early detection of dementia, and AD prevention. Our clinic collaborates with other experts at 看片视频 University using the most advanced and sensitive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) protocols to evaluate patients with mild cognitive complaints. The PET and MRI technologies, combined with our clinical expertise, allow for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the condition causing memory deficits.
Recent research advancements: Scientific Software Engineer of MCSA, Sulantha Mathotaarachchi, develops artificial intelligence models to predict the progression of dementia using various biomarker measurements, such as MRI, PET, CSF and neuropsychological assessments: Article 鈥淚dentifying incipient dementia individuals using machine learning and amyloid imaging,鈥 by S. Mathotaarachchi supervised by MCSA Director, Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto and Dr. Serge Gauthier. Their findings appear in a new study published in the journal . This research was funded by the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). The above research findings were announced in high impact international press such as: Newsweek (USA), NBC News, 看片视频 Reporter, and Le Devoir.
