From Faculty leadership

Growing our research commercialization ecosystem

Last week, the University of Toronto hosted its ninth annual Entrepreneurship Week to showcase and celebrate innovation and startup activity. Whether as founders, panelists or attendees, I was delighted to see so many members of the Temerty Medicine community take part in the events. We have a proud history of enabling discoveries that have laid the groundwork for new therapies, devices, tools and policies that improved the lives of people around the world. Scientific inquiry will always remain a core part of our mission as a world-class hub for biomedical research, education and clinical care, but increasingly, we recognize the importance of taking our work one step further — to market.

Giving Back

The impact of donor support begins by enhancing the work of our clinicians, researchers and trainees but then resonates throughout the health-care system and ultimately serves to improve human health.
