The Trudeau Institute is an independent, not-for-profit, biomedical research center located on a 42 acres (170,000 m2) campus in Saranac Lake, New York.
[3] Trudeau, who had himself survived a tuberculosis infection during a stay at Paul Smith's Hotel in the Adirondacks, believed that the clean air in the region would improve health outcomes.
[9] The proceeds were invested in a new medical research facility built on Lower Saranac Lake, which became the Trudeau Institute and opened in 1964.
Beginning in 2016, the institute was revitalized under the leadership of Atsuo Kuki, who reoriented projects from pure research to applied science, a strategy he labeled "Trudeau 3.0".
[4][10] In July 2020, due to their role in assisting the regional community during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Saranac Lake Chamber of Commerce honored Adirondack Health and the Trudeau Institute as joint partners of the year.
