The Henderson Research Centre (HRC) was established in 1988 as a joint initiative of the Hamilton Health Sciences and McMaster University.

The Henderson Research Centre has three main programmes which interact closely. These are: Experimental Thrombosis and Atherosclerosis (ETA) under the Directorship of Dr. Jeffrey Weitz; Clinical Trials Methodology (CTM) under the Directorship of Dr. Mark Levine; and the Clinical Thromboembolism (CTE) under the Directorship of Dr. Sam Schulman. In addition, there is an active research group in bone metabolism headed by Dr. Stephen Shaughnessy.
