Professors Jean-Pierre Pelletier, MD, and Johanne Martel-Pelletier, PhD, cofounded the Osteoarthritis Research Unit at the University of Montreal’s Notre-Dame Hospital (now the University of Montreal Hospital Research Centre [CRCHUM]) in 1981, with generous support from the private donors and foundations. Since then, the Unit has been recognized worldwide for its innovative research and numerous discoveries that have helped improve methods of diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis. In 2000, Professors Pelletier and Martel-Pelletier consolidated these activities by creating the Chair in Osteoarthritis at the University of Montreal, thus ensuring the sustainability of their work and their team.
