On behalf of our entire team, I am delighted to welcome you to the KITE Research Institute. KITE is the research arm of the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and one of the principal research enterprises at the University Health Network (UHN), Canada's largest medical research organization.

KITE is an acronym that stands for Knowledge, Innovation, Talent and Everywhere. These core values are embedded into everything we do. They are fundamental building blocks that drive us to design new treatments, therapies, products and preventative approaches that transform the lives of millions.
