The Calvin, Phoebe and Joan Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases
We at the Snyder...
...focus on advancing modern medicine’s capacity to ease the burden of chronic and infectious disease. Our 480 highly qualified researchers, clinicians and trainees use our world-class research facilities and technologies to make ground-breaking discoveries leading to disease prevention, new treatments ranging from living medicines to molecular interventions, and ultimately cures for these conditions.
We believe there are undiscovered pathways to precise medical applications we call Precision Medicine – tailored medical approaches – which will improve the quality of life for millions of people. Investments in our Institute will spark meaningful discoveries and ensure that this vital research continues.

The Human Organoid Innovation Hub: Advancing Precision Medicine Through Human-Relevant Models
At the University of Calgary’s Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases, the Human Organoid Innovation Hub (HOIH) is transforming how scientists study human health. By using patient-derived tissues and stem cell technologies, HOIH creates miniature, lab-grown versions of human organs called organoids that closely mimic real human biology.
