Momentum Drivers


It is collaboration that propels health research, education and patient care to new heights and we've got the teams to zero in on the most critical issues of our time.

Our researchers are taking major steps forward with machine learning and artificial intelligence to transform diagnostic imaging and to help predict and treat mental health conditions.

Some are taking courageous action towards addressing the Indigenous health gap; some are challenging what for physicians can be the persistent stigma around asking for help.

From diverse research groups targeting breast cancer to those tackling MS from every angle and experts promoting healthy aging: here are the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry's Momentum Drivers of the year.
