The Toronto Western Hospital ended a successful 2015 by renaming its research arm the Krembil Research Institute (Krembil). The renaming, which took place on November 13, 2015, honours a family whose name now appropriately graces the face of the Institute after supporting research at Toronto Western Hospital for nearly two decades.
Krembil operates under the leadership of its Director, Dr. Donald Weaver. Its strategic research focus—finding cures for degenerative diseases of the brain, spine, bones, joints and eyes—will have an increasingly significant impact on society as the global population ages.
This important research is not possible without the continued support of philanthropists like the Krembil family, who has a deep appreciation for the research excellence at Krembil. Krembil Senior Scientists Drs. Mary Pat McAndrews, Nizar Mahomed and Antonio Strafella know first-hand the significance of the Krembil’s continued investment in research.
"Philanthropy is extremely important because it enables us to train the next generation of scientists, and they are the ones who are going to discover the cures we haven’t yet dreamed about," says Dr. Mary Pat McAndrews.
"The Krembil family has really set an example for others to follow, working with us to lead the way in developing new health care solutions," says Dr. Nizar Mahomed.
"It is extremely important to have people like the Krembil family continue their personal commitment to helping researchers," says Dr. Antonio Strafella.
