From Faculty leadership

Removing research barriers is critical

If the pandemic taught us one thing — among its many searing lessons — it’s that a strong life sciences sector is essential to Canada’s health security and economic growth.   While we are fortunate to have so many of the key ingredients across Temerty Medicine and the Toronto Academic Health Science Network (TAHSN) — outstanding researchers and trainees, dynamic training environments, world-leading output of top-ranked publications — collectively our research enterprise is under serious strain.  When we benchmark against our competitors at leading US biomedical hubs, as a 2023 TAHSN report from Shift Health points out, we have so much unrealized potential to unleash. One of the biggest opportunities in this area — and one I am deeply committed to — is removing barriers to research collaborations across our network.
