With $95 million in support from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, the Fonds de recherche du Québec, the Ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation du Québec and several other partners, the TransMedTech Institute is led by Carl-Éric Aubin, a full professor of mechanical engineering at Polytechnique Montréal and a researcher at CHU Sainte-Justine, who has won numerous awards for his decisive and innovative contributions to the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases.

“The TransMedTech Institute is a unique initiative that, through its positioning as a sectoral hub of excellence in biomedical engineering and medical technologies, is leading to innovations that have the potential to transform the lives of patients and have a significant impact on the healthcare system and the medical industry.”
