The Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute

The Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute,
located at Mount Sinai Hospital, is one of the
leading biomedical research facilities in the
world. Created in 1985, the institute is
profoundly advancing the understanding of
human biology in health and disease. Many of
the breakthroughs that began as fundamental
research have already resulted in new and
better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat
common illnesses ― bringing a healthier future
to Canadians.

Research institutes operating within academic
hospitals have become the hallmark of leading
medical centres in North America. For more
than 25 years, the partnership between the
institute and Mount Sinai Hospital has
demonstrated the value of integrating research
into the clinical setting and has distinguished
Mount Sinai as a top tier academic leader.

The Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum’s reputation serves as a magnet for recruiting world-class clinicians and
clinician-scientists who wish to practice in a culture of inquiry and innovation. Close to 40
internationally-recognized principle investigators work in contemporary fields of investigation that are
aligned with the Hospital’s flagship clinical programs and continue to make leading-edge discoveries
in the prevention, detection and treatment of diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, breast/prostate/ovarian
cancer, sarcoma, pre-eclampsia and complications of pregnancy, neurodegenerative and mental
health disorders.
