Professors

The TransMedTech community is comprised of approximately 100 professors and researchers affiliated with the five founding institutions of the Institute (Polytechnique Montréal, Université de Montréal, CHU Sainte-Justine, CR CHUM, Jewish General Hospital), who carry out medical technology research and development projects in collaboration with numerous partners.

Since its creation, the Institute has contributed to the hiring of 15 new faculty members from its founding institutions to support the dynamics and high level of innovation of the medical technology ecosystem.
