Sunnybrook Research Institute (SRI) is one of the world’s premier academic medical research centres, renowned for our work in medical imaging, biology, and clinical evaluative sciences. As part of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and fully affiliated with the University of Toronto, SRI is dedicated to advancing health care through pioneering research and partnerships that translate scientific discoveries into clinical practice.
More than 360 scientists work across three scientific platforms and ten clinical programs. Research spans three Toronto-based campuses: Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (Bayview), Holland Centre and St. John’s Rehab, with research space totalling more than 250,000 square feet, including 150,000 square feet for the world’s first Centre for Research in Image-Guided Therapeutics. Sunnybrook is recognized as a Centre of Excellence by the Focused Ultrasound Foundation, the first site in Canada—and one of only seven in the world—to receive this honour. Our program is one of the most comprehensive and successful focused ultrasound research programs in the world, with technical, scientific and clinical experts accelerating progress in the field.
