5 years ago, we announced a landmark $250M gift from James and Louise Temerty and the Temerty Foundation. It launched a new era for medicine at @UofT – strengthening discovery, collaboration, innovation, equity and learner well-being across #TemertyMed bit.ly/4nkri2J

Before COVID-19 had a name, #TemertyMed's high containment lab mobilized to study it. Backed by the Temertys' gift, the lab helped Canada isolate the virus, test treatments, and safely reuse PPE, working around the clock to support the national response. bit.ly/4pFseA2
