Why We Support Sinai Health

The Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute (LTRI), part of Sinai Health, is a world-class academic health sciences centre and one of the country’s top research institutes.

Support from the Mount Sinai Classic is critical to advancing research at LTRI, allowing our scientists to push the boundaries of what is possible and uncover groundbreaking discoveries that have life-changing applications in care. Below are some of the areas where LTRI is  paving the way for the next breakthrough. 

Diabetes

The LTRI ranks number one  in the world for high-impact diabetes research and is home to some of the top diabetes researchers in the world.

Brain Health

Research at the LTRI has revolutionized our approach to understanding how memories are formed, retained and lost. This work has contributed to a medication that temporarily slows down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

Cancer

More than 40 per cent of the research done at the LTRI is cancer-related, and it ranks among the top three centres for sarcoma research in the world.

Women’s and Infant's Health

The LTRI is known for its world-renowned research programs in neonatal medicine, placental health and maternal/fetal medicine.
