UHN is home to exceptional places: four academic hospitals, an education institute and six research institutes.
The scientists, trainees and staff at UHN are focused with intense curiosity and dedication, and driven by a single aim: to accelerate research into clinical impact. This common goal allows us to tackle challenges and achieve impact beyond that possible by any one individual.
Through inspiring stories and colourful illustrations, the latest UHN Research Report [Editor's Note: Link is no longer available] – entitled
