An International Resource

As a result of the DeGroote family gift, a world-class institute was created at McMaster University to facilitate evidence-based prevention and management of chronic post-surgical pain. The Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Pain Research and Care encompasses an array of technologies, disciplines and specialties.

The institute’s medical director is respected clinician Dr. Akbar Panju. The scientific director of the pain institute is Dr. Norm Buckley.
