Research

The University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine and our nine fully affiliated hospitals bring together one of the largest communities of health researchers in the world. More than 1,600 principal investigators in 26 academic departments conducted $916 million in research last year. Together, we are leading research innovation to do what can't be done, and improving the health of people and populations around the globe.
