University of Ottawa:

• Center for Research in Photonics

  The Centre for Research in Photonics is dedicated to fully explore the scientific foundations of photonics to develop a rigorous understanding of how photons may be manipulated and controlled as they interact with matter, apply theoretical and experimental knowledge to develop new classes of photonic materials and devices and develop new systems concepts based on photonics technology.

• Center for Neural Dynamics

  The Center for Neural Dynamics promotes and supports interdisciplinary research ventures between its members as well as with researchers at other institutions worldwide in molecular, cellular and systems neuroscience, mathematical modeling and imaging.

• Ottawa institute of Systems Biology

  The Ottawa institute of Systems Biology develops and applies systems biology to biological studies relevant to human diseases.

National Research Council:

• Institute of Microstructural Sciences

  The Institute of Microstructural Sciences provides national leadership and performs R&D; into emerging information technologies related to the future hardware requirements in the areas of organic and inorganic semiconductor-based electronics and photonics.

• Steacie Institute

  The Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences (SIMS) provides leadership in collaboration with the Canadian and international scientific communities in the development of a knowledge base in molecular sciences

Others:

• Ottawa Health Research Institute (OHRI)

  The Ottawa Health Research Institute (OHRI) is an affiliated Research Institute of the University of Ottawa and the research arm of The Ottawa Hospital. The OHRI has grown rapidly to become one of the largest and most important hospital-based research institutes in Canada

• Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC)

  Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC), an Agency of Industry Canada, is the primary federal laboratory for research and development (R&D;) in advanced telecommunications.
