Centre for Heart Lung Innovation (HLI)

For more than 40 years, the Centre for Heart Lung Innovation (HLI) has been finding answers to some of heart/lung medicine’s most pressing questions all within the setting of a busy urban hospital.

 

Since opening its doors in 1977, HLI has grown into a globally recognized research centre for understanding and eliminating lung and heart diseases. Thanks to the unique proximity of researchers to patients within the clinical setting of St Paul’s Hospital, all research activities are driven by and centered around improving patient quality of life. And with HLI’s multidisciplinary investigative teams, it’s not uncommon to find a mathematician, a pathologist, a surgeon and a basic scientist joining forces to attack challenging heart/lung problems.

 

We are asking for your support to continue this tradition of excellence in heart & lung research. Support our HLI scientists’ work to unlock the causes of and cures for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), heart failure, cystic fibrosis, sepsis and more.

 

Thank you for your support.
