The Surgical and Interventional Sciences (SIS) Program is unique in Canada. The program has a multidisciplinary culture in which more than 50 basic and clinical scientists work together with trainees and research staff to expand knowledge in surgical procedures and trauma medicine. The program spans molecular and cellular research, genetics, tissue engineering, implant design, innovative techniques and technologies, translation and pre-clinical validation with clinical outcomes in disease.
The exceptional environment of the Surgical and Interventional Sciences Program fosters research to avoid or mitigate the impact of trauma, reducing patients’ decline in function, speeding up the recovery phase, rehabilitating, and minimizing the residual impact of trauma.
