A message from Dr. Nigel Shrive
The Institute is a research entity within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Calgary. Our research spans from basic science at the molecular level to whole joint transplants in the operating room. McCaig researchers also explore how to deliver more effective and efficient health services.
We seek to identify new methods for early diagnosis of arthritic diseases. Investigators also aim to develop advanced treatments through understanding the underlying mechanisms of disease initiation and progression. Looking at the effects of current treatments helps us define ways of providing faster and better treatments for individuals. We are also examining ways to try and prevent the diseases from developing in the first place. To tackle these complex problems, we typically work in collaborative teams made up of individuals with different skill sets. Our members come from five faculties at the University of Calgary and we have associate members from three faculties of the University of Alberta.
Your interest in us and what we do is greatly appreciated. Please note that our website is still under construction. Visit us again soon for updates.
