Members of the Centres team have exceptional, even unique, analytical capabilities in the fields of chemistry,
microbiology and immunology,
genomics and
proteomics as well as molecular and cellular biology. The established credibility of the Centres doping control laboratory played a key role in the World Anti-Doping Agencys decision to establish its headquarters in Montreal. In addition, on the strength of its expertise in immunity,
infectious diseases and
cancer as well as its solid experience in using animal models, the National Centre for Experimental
Biology - a major project funded by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation and the Quebec government - was set up on the City of Laval campus. The INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier research centre is also one of the cornerstones in the development of the City of
Biotechnology and Human
