Breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, drug delivery, imaging, and health-care AI are helping patients live longer, healthier lives – and the Institute for Biomedical Engineering, Science and Technology (iBEST), a partnership between Toronto Metropolitan University
and Unity Health Toronto, St. Michael’s Hospital, is driving these advances.
The institute’s work spans a broad spectrum, from publishing research and filing patents to creating new companies and health products. By nurturing the development of spin-off companies and patientcentred solutions, iBEST is improving early detection, treatment, and care, while also shaping the next generation of talent in life sciences and biomedical engineering.
In addition to advancing research and accelerating the translation of research into real-world solutions, iBEST is giving students, clinicians and researchers hands-on experience in interdisciplinary projects. This approach helps cultivate the next generation of innovators and leaders in both the health and technology sectors, ensuring continued progress in improving health care solutions.
