WORLD-CLASS RESEARCH
The QHLI Research Center includes 16
Research Chairs, with two research re-
cently created to center around two of
the Centre’s most renown researchers,
namely, Dr. Vincenzo Di Marzo and Dr.
Josep Rodes-Cabau, who have been
recognized among the World’s Most
Influential Scientific Minds in 2017. Dr.
Rodes-Cabau’s research in transcath-
eter aortic valve replacement has con-
tributed to such advanced technology
that it is regarded as nothing short of
a revolution in Aortic stenosis treat-
ment. “The research group on valvular
diseases led to by Drs Rodes-Cabau
and P Pibarot working at the Institute
is considered worldwide as one of the
best in this field, says Dr. Richard. “Dr.
Di Marzo has been recruited through
the Canada Excellence Research
Chairs (CERC) Program and leads a
unique research program on the mi-
crobiome-endocannabinoidome axis
in cardiometabolic and respiratory
health.“
