Thanks to an investment by the Harper Government announced today by FedDev Ontario Minister Gary Goodyear and Don Valley West MP John Carmichael, Sunnybrook Research Institute will grow southern Ontario's image-guided therapy cluster.
Sunnybrook, in collaboration with 32 partners including four universities (Western University, Ryerson University, University of Toronto and Queen's University) and up to 28 businesses, will use the funding to accelerate the commercialization of 28 innovative technologies.
This project will provide necessary laboratory, business and commercialization support to image-guided therapy companies in the region, and solidify southern Ontario's position as a leader for image-guided therapeutics.
This important investment of up to $20 million to Sunnybrook Research Institute, towards total project costs of more than $41 million, will help the partners involved create 165 high-quality, full-time jobs across various sectors in southern Ontario.
