Advancing children's health research in a shared, collaborative space
The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation Innovation Laboratories, located on the 3rd floor of the Katz Building (North Campus), support discovery research in children’s health.
WCHRI programs led out of the space include the Translational Genomics Hub and the Stem Cell Lab.
The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation Innovation Laboratories space includes:
