RESEARCH OVERVIEW

The Canadian Immunodeficiency Research Collaborative (CIRC) is a national, not-for-profit organization committed to improving the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS by providing access to leading edge research.

Created by physicians at MLMC, CIRC's scope of clinical research has grown steadily since its inception in 2001. See our -->Ongoing<-- and -->Completed<-- clinical trials.

With the opportunity to voluntarily participate in research studies, patients have the capacity to access new medications, procedures and/or diagnostic tests that are at the forefront of the fight against this disease.

This is made possible through collaborations with other national and international research organizations, and a dedication to address the most pertinent research questions of both clinicians and patients.

If you are thinking about volunteering as a research participant, please read our --> Facts About Trials <-- and then review our -->Recruiting Trials<--
