From insulin to artificial intelligence, the knowledge and technologies created at the University of Toronto have changed the world. To help ensure the latest knowledge and technological advances can be applied to solve today’s greatest challenges the University of Toronto and the Temerty Faculty of Medicine offers a number of programs and services to faculty and students.  Â
Why you should activate your research
The knowledge and technologies researchers create have the potential to address some of society’s most significant and current challenges. Actively pursuing the application and translation of your research helps to address those societal challenges, create both training and career opportunities for learners, and can strengthen research programs.
How to ensure your research has an impact
Successful adoption of novel knowledge and technologies requires strategic planning and decision making. Temerty Medicine, in collaboration with the Innovation and Partnerships Office, works with faculty to identify the resources they need to launch and accelerate the process of getting research from the lab and in to the market.

Translational Biology and Engineering Program
TBEP is the University of Toronto’s component of the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research (TRCHR). Occupying the 14th floor of MaRS Discovery District’s West Tower, TBEP brings together eight faculty members and their students from U of T Dentistry, Engineering and Medicine to advance heart research, diagnostics, and regeneration using a comprehensive approach that includes systems and developmental biology, technology innovation and clinical translation.
Institute of Biomaterials & Biomedical Engineering
IBBME researchers collaborate across the disciplines of engineering, medicine and dentistry to develop innovative solutions for the most pressing health-care challenges in the world. Learn about their four research themes in biomedical and clinical engineering that are shaping the next frontiers in human health.
Drug Development
Precision Medicine initiative at University of Toronto -Â PRiME
PRiME brings together world-class scientists, engineers and innovators at the University of Toronto to tackle unmet needs in drug discovery, diagnostics and disease biology.. Located at the University of Toronto, this initiative leverages world-class expertise in biologics, omics, molecular chemistry, liquid biopsy, nanomedicine, biology-on-a-chip and related domains to develop new solutions ...Â
Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine
Many new and potentially life-changing RM-based treatments never reach patients because they are not successfully moved from the laboratory to a stage where they can be used in medicine. In order to fulfill RM’s promise to treat the many diseases affecting our population, a world-renowned group of stem cell scientists and bioengineers have come together to form CCRM. CCRM’s mission is to generate sustainable health and economic benefits through global collaboration in cell and gene therapy, and regenerative medicine.Â
Medicine by Design harnesses the extraordinary expertise at the University of Toronto and its affiliated hospitals to undertake transformative research in regenerative medicine and cell therapy, power Toronto’s bioscience sector and strengthen Canada as a global leader in the field.
