Mission
The mission of the Network is to provide a Quebec infrastructure that allows the development of respiratory health research, support the next generation, make our researchers more competitive and facilitate collaboration, synergy and constructive partnerships at the provincial, national and international levels. The role of the RHN is to better understand the causes of respiratory diseases, facilitate the development of new therapeutic approaches and ultimately, improve the respiratory health care of the population.
