At the Adaptive Neurorehabilitation Systems Lab, Professor Jose Zariffa and his team are developing technologies to support recovery after spinal cord injury and stroke. Using wearable sensors, neural interfaces, deep learning, and computer vision, the lab studies movement and nervous system activity to improve rehabilitation therapies and assistive technologies.
Professor Luka Milosevic awarded $1.65 million NSERC CREATE grant to advance neuromodulation training Professor Luka Milosevic has received a $1.65 million award from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) […]
University of Toronto researchers (left: Karl Wagner, right: Milica Radisic) found that tiny particles released by immune cells help blood vessels form in lab grown human heart tissue, offering new insights into heart repair and tissue engineering.
Professor Leo Chou awarded the 2026 McCharles Prize for Early Career Research Distinction Professor Leo Chou of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering has been named the recipient of the 2026 […]
Professor Craig Simmons and his collaborators have developed a new way to mature lab-grown heart cells so they more closely mimic adult human heart tissue, improving their structure, electrical signaling, and contraction for better heart disease research and drug testing.
Professor Elaine Biddiss, Associate Professor at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Senior Scientist at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, is among the project leads for one of 14 initiatives receiving national funding from Kids Brain Health to improve outcomes for children and youth with neurodisabilities and their families across Canada.
The human brain has only a limited ability to repair itself after injury, but scientists are working to change that. In Professor Cindi Morshead’s lab, researchers study neural stem cells: the rare cells capable of generating new neurons and support cells in the brain. Her team investigates how these stem cells grow, migrate, and specialize, and how they can be guided to help repair damage caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, and childhood brain injuries.
The Holland Bone and Joint Research Program at Sunnybrook Research Institute continues to drive progress in musculoskeletal science through collaborative, translational research. Drs. Cari Whyne and Michael Hardisty are contributing to meaningful advancements in patient care.
Researchers at the University of Toronto have identified a protein from the quagga mussel that can stick to surfaces underwater, even though it lacks a chemical feature long thought to be essential for this kind of adhesion. The protein, called Dbfp7, is the first freshwater mussel adhesive protein to be functionally characterized.
A team from U of T Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell — a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising anti-inflammatory molecules.
