Graduate Education
Our MSc and PhD programs and our Professional Master’s programs provide innovative research and educational opportunities that aim to solve the most important questions in biomedical and health-care research. Our graduate students are involved in virtually every aspect of biomedical research, including contributing to advances in stem cell and regenerative medicine, molecular biology, immunology, genetics, physiology, developmental biology, pharmacology, nutritional sciences, neurosciences, and solving complex problems in diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Students have a wealth of resources in terms of working with internationally recognized scientists and clinicians in state-of-the-art labs. To accommodate the growth in biomedical and health care research in Toronto, several new state of the art research towers have been built on campus and at the fully affiliated hospitals over the last ten years. We are large but our sense of community is strong. Beyond research, our graduate students organize many different social and academic activities within their departments. These include research days, mentorship programs, sports teams, pub nights and charity fundraisers. These activities bring students together and help to forge friendships for life.
