The history of the pioneers at the HLI.
Previously known as iCAPTURE and the James Hogg Research Centre (JHRC), HLI was established as the Pulmonary Research Laboratory in 1977 by Drs. James Hogg (2013 Gairdner Wightman Award Winner) and Peter Pare. Since then, it has grown dramatically in scope, size, and worldwide impact.
