Le CÉAMS pour étudier les problèmes de sommeil
Sacré-Cœur's Centre for Advanced Research in Sleep Medicine (CARSM) houses a clinic and a research group composed of 6 physicians, 17 researchers, 60 employees and over 50 graduate students.
The mission of this centre is to generate new knowledge about sleep and to understand, diagnose, treat and prevent sleep disorders.
Each year, the CARSM clinic sees more than 2,500 patients for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, including insomnia, restless leg syndrome, hypersomnia, narcolepsy, REM sleep behaviour disorder and sleepwalking.
Patients are referred from all over the country, and even from Europe and the United States. It is also a major international centre for sleep research.
The CARSM team is also the custodian of the Canadian Biobank for Sleep Research, which contains 40,000 patient blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid samples. In addition, there is an entire informatics infrastructure containing the clinical data collected from these same patients who have given their consent to have their samples stored.
Sacré-Cœur has a true gem. Julie Carrier, researcher and professor in the Department of Psychology at the Université de Montréal, is the Biobank's scientific director.
