From cells to systems, we’re advancing innovation in gene therapies, regenerative medicine, health policy and care delivery. Our work spans the full lifespan, improving outcomes in early childhood development, mental health, chronic and infectious disease, aging and end-of-life care. Our goal isn’t just to help people live longer, but to help them live well.
We’re breaking down silos across disciplines and systems and combining AI, advanced imaging and cutting-edge biological research to deepen our understanding of disease and develop more precise, targeted interventions. We’re leaders in neuroscience, biomedical discovery, musculoskeletal health, infectious disease, communication sciences, the social and environmental determinants of health and early childhood development.
Strong community partnerships are central to our approach to research, education and care. From Windsor to Owen Sound and Sarnia to Simcoe, we’re working with individuals and communities to better understand their unique needs—while preparing the next generation of doctors, nurses, researchers and allied health professionals to meet those needs and shape the future of care.
With your support, we will move life-changing breakthroughs further and faster, to:
