Gastrointestinal Diseases Research Unit (GIDRU)
The Gastrointestinal Diseases Research Unit (GIDRU) is a diverse multidisciplinary group, drawing its membership from the Departments of Medicine, Surgery and Pathology and basic science faculty from the Departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Biology, Microbiology and Immunology and Physiology. Many of the clinical faculty are cross-appointed in basic science departments to facilitate the supervision of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. Recently, GIDRU has been awarded a major grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to inaugurate a CIHR Training Program in Digestive Sciences to help train M.Sc. and Ph.D. students as well as clinical and post-doctoral fellows in digestive disease research. GIDRU facilities include a leading-edge molecular biology and tissue culture facility, confocal microscopy, and an ion imaging/electrophysiology laboratory.
