iBEST Team
Universities and hospitals play a critical role in driving innovation in healthcare.
In 2013, Toronto Metropolitan University and St. Michael’s Hospital agreed on a 20-year partnership to launch iBEST with leadership from both institutions.
Toronto Metropolitan and St. Michael’s Hospital believe that innovation is born from multidisciplinary collaboration. Both institutions have a history of research collaborations, joint commercialization projects, and education and training opportunities dating back nearly two decades.
