On October 22, six teams of St. Michael’s Hospital’s top scientists pitched their groundbreaking ideas to judges, jurors, and a packed house at Koerner Hall.
What began as a bold idea to champion Canadian science has grown into a movement—empowering St. Michael’s researchers to redefine healthcare.
