BME Student Fellowship
The BME Student Fellowship is aimed to fund top students in our graduate programs, where 100% of the proceed will directly go to students. Your contribution will have a positive and long-lasting impact in our student’s lives. Our goal is to raise $1 million in total fund. The Institute of Biomedical Engineering will provide a 1:1 match to your donation.
Biomedical Engineering Director's Fund
Contributions to Biomedical Engineering Director’s Fund give directors the flexibility to meet their students’ needs and the agility to seize opportunities as they arise in the rapidly evolving scientific and higher education sectors.

New imaging agent could improve early detection of inflammatory disease
Researchers from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto have developed a novel MRI contrast agent that may enhance the early detection of inflammatory diseases by targeting nitric oxide (NO), a key molecule involved in the body’s immune response.
New insights into sudden unexpected death in epilepsy through advanced brain wave analysis
Researchers from University of Toronto have developed a new approach to studying brain wave patterns that may offer vital clues into the mechanisms behind Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). By using a method called wavelet phase coherence, the team has uncovered significant differences in brain activity during epileptic seizures that could lead to better prevention strategies.
What’s your story? – Professor Tom Chau
As a child, Tom Chau’s engineering journey began by dismantling toys to discover how they worked. Now, Chau and his team are developing technologies to give children with disabilities the ability to communicate better with others.
This U of T Engineering professor is developing novel biomaterials to improve the treatment of chronic diseases
Maikawa is one of two U of T Engineering professors to receive funding from the latest round of the Canadian Foundation for Innovation John R. Evans Leaders Fund (CFI-JELF).
Researchers develop scalable DNA-based neural networks for molecular computing
Researchers at the University of Toronto have made an advancement in DNA-based neural networks, paving the way for more portable and scalable molecular computers. By implementing new strategies to overcome existing limitations, the team has developed neural networks that can process information quickly and accurately without relying on traditional electronic components.
New research has potential to speed up forensic analysis in sexual assault cases
Professor Aaron Wheeler and his team has developed a new technique for analyzing evidence in sexual assault cases. The new approach could streamline the forensics pipeline and reduce delays in the processing of DNA evidence.
