Inauguration of the Centre of Expertise in Complement-Mediated Rare Diseases

The inauguration of the Centre of Expertise in Complement-Mediated Rare Diseases at CHU Sainte-Justine marks a major step forward in advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions through a unique translational research infrastructure in Canada. This centre will enable the development of local diagnostic tools, the centralization of specialized analyses, and the strengthening of international collaboration—ultimately improving access to care and enhancing patients’ quality of life.
