Sunnybrook Research Institute is the research enterprise of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, a teaching hospital fully affiliated with the University of Toronto. Research spans three Toronto-based campuses, eight programs and three scientific platforms. Our main aims are to understand and prevent disease, and to develop treatments that enhance and extend life. Our vision is to invent the future of health care. Each year, we conduct about $100 million in research across 500,000 square feet, including in the world’s first Centre for Research in Image-Guided Therapeutics.
Research in the biological sciences platform encompasses fundamental, translational, and clinical science. Our scientists and trainees use a range of experimental approaches and techniques to understand the mechanisms of healthy and diseased physiology to understand the functions and interconnections of molecules, cells, organs and systems.
