Professors Pelletier and Martel-Pelletier and their team have demonstrated remarkable initiative and determination in raising and optimizing funds for the creation and operation of the Chair in Osteoarthritis and the Osteoarthritis Research Unit through an annual fundraising campaign.

The funds raised have supported researchers while promoting the recruitment of new talent, whether physicians, researchers, or graduate students (interns, masters, doctorates, post-doctorates, and fellows). They have also contributed to the launch of new research programs and the acquisition of cutting-edge equipment. Thanks to these efforts, the Chair has enabled the Unit to establish itself as a centre of excellence in osteoarthritis research. Its visibility and recognition are confirmed today by numerous publications, presentations and invitations as speakers, nationally and internationally. Several researchers and students from the Unit have also been honoured with numerous prestigious national and international awards for the excellence of their work.

Thanks to the dedication and commitment of the Chairholders and the entire team at the Osteoarthritis Research Unit, the Chair in Osteoarthritis has achieved remarkable success since its creation. Many advances developed by the Unit’s researchers have been, are being used or are in the process of becoming key tools for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of patients with osteoarthritis, demonstrating their effectiveness and their specific and pragmatic approach.
