Following the launch of their compact and modular knot tying board, Temerty Medicine learners Tiffany Ni and Marco Istasy established a company, RISE MD.

The University of Toronto and its partners are receiving $4.25 million over the next five years to establish a national hub aimed at accelerating the commercialization of life sciences discoveries. Based at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, the national health hub will develop and deliver programs to help students and faculty bring breakthrough ideas to market, with a specific focus on addressing the unique regulatory challenges facing health and medical start-ups.

University of Toronto researchers have developed a flexible, biodegradable electrode capable of stimulating neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the brain – a device capable of delivering targeted electrical stimulation for up to seven days before it dissolves naturally.
