Student Lounge

Need a break while you’re waiting for your essays to incubate? Want to watch the hockey game or chat with your coworkers? The IRCM student lounge is the place for it! Equipped with sofas, a TV, a foosball table, a dartboard, and a “leave a book/take a book” student library, the lounge provides a space for students to relax and take a well-deserved break.

Interlab Club

The Interlab Club is an opportunity for our students to present and discuss the results of their research with the IRCM community in a relaxed environment. Lunch is provided at each session.

The presentations cover numerous disciplines including neurology, immunology, developmental biology, and biochemistry. The Interlab Club is the perfect opportunity to share and learn.

Health and Wellness Committee

Our students’ well-being is a priority at the IRCM and to this end the Student Association has established a peer support program. This program is for the Institute’s entire student community and aims to promote mental and emotional well-being. With both respect and discretion, IRCM peer supporters are available to welcome, listen, and if desired, refer students to available resources.
