Centre for Spinal Cord Injury and Cancer Education and Rehabilitation

The Knowledge Infrastructure Program is investing $16.5 million to build two new McMaster centres aimed at discovering innovative ways to help people devastated by spinal cord injuries or cancer.

The funding supports the Centre for Spinal Cord Injury Education, Research and Rehabilitation and the Centre for Cancer Education, Research and Rehabilitation. At these centres, students will work alongside world-class scientists tackling neuro-restorative and cancer issues, and will acquire a unique set of skills in patient care and rehabilitation.

The multidisciplinary training approach will lead to new prevention strategies and therapies, allowing patients to maximize their health, regain their independence and re-enter the workforce.
