À propos de CanCOLD
Pour nous connaître
En suivant 1 500 personnes en bonne santé et atteintes de la MPOC sur 9 sites canadiens pendant plus d’une décennie, CanCOLD a constitué l’un des ensembles de données les plus complets au monde pour répondre aux questions liées à la MPOC.
Nos sites d'étude
Les sites de collecte de données CanCOLD sont situés dans des hôpitaux affiliés à des universités partout au Canada. D'un océan à l'autre, les sites CanCOLD se trouvent à Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon, Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, Montréal, Québec et Halifax. Chaque site est dirigé par des chercheurs expérimentés avec des profils internationaux dans la recherche en santé respiratoire, et soutenus par une équipe de coordonnateurs de recherche dévoués.
