Your Donation Makes A Difference

At the Institute of Medical Science (IMS), our students and faculty are world-renowned leaders in translational research, discoveries and innovation that improve human health.

The IMS is one of the largest graduate departments at the University of Toronto, and the largest within the Temerty Faculty of Medicine. Our diverse institute includes clinicians, scientists, and graduate students who all conduct research that impacts medicine. The multidisciplinary nature of the IMS, and its focus on bridging the gap between basic and clinical science, epitomizes the breadth of medically-focused research conducted across the University of Toronto campus, its affiliated research centres, and hospitals.
