The University of Toronto’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering has climbed to the 23rd spot in the Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings by Subject 2025. The faculty has jumped three spots since 2024 and is the only Canadian engineering school in the top 25.
Starting in 2024, the BME Unsung Hero Award celebrates the dedicated individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to support the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME). This award recognizes the invaluable contributions of administrative staff, research technicians, assistants, and other key team members who ensure the success of our labs, programs, and community.
Researchers from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering at the University of Toronto have developed a novel method to dramatically extend the duration of glaucoma treatment.
The University of Toronto and its partners are receiving $4.25 million over the next five years to establish a national hub aimed at accelerating the commercialization of life sciences discoveries.
Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) have found that studying blood flow in leg muscles may help detect cardiovascular disease earlier compared to standardized tests, opening the door to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
Researchers from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the University of Toronto have developed a new method to precisely control the structure and function of immune complexes (ICs) using DNA origami.
With a mission to support novel approaches to managing and preventing heart failure, the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research uses its Innovation Fund to propel emerging research with great potential. The 2024-25 Innovation Fund Seed Grants are currently open and you can learn more here.
Professor Milos R. Popovic has been named a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC). He is one of 23 distinguished engineers selected this year for their outstanding contributions to the engineering profession and their service to society.
Researchers at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the University of Toronto have developed a flexible, biodegradable electrode capable of stimulating neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the brain. This device delivers targeted electrical stimulation for up to seven days before dissolving naturally, eliminating the need for surgical removal.
A U of T Engineering student team working on synthetic biology research and innovation has achieved its best results to date at the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, with a platform to counter so-called superbugs that resist antibiotic treatment. With the support of Professors Michael Garton and Freeman Lan (both BME), the team started working with plasmids from E. coli bacteria to see if they could generate new sequences and validate their functionality, both computationally and in the wet lab.
