DOORS OPEN returns to the KITE Research Institute
Located three storeys below the busy streets of Toronto's Hospital Row is one of the most advanced medical research facilities in the world.
The Challenging Environment Assessment Lab (CEAL), part of the University Health Network's KITE Research Institute, is a subterranean space that showcases research in action.
CEAL is home to a collection of simulation laboratories designed to allow scientists to test and develop pharmaceuticals, assistive devices, footwear and other products and technologies aimed at combating the debilitating effects of disability, illness and aging while promoting mobility and accessibility.
In these labs, scientists study human abilities and performance in real-life settings, allowing them to develop and safely test innovative products and technologies to help people live independently and thrive at home and in the community.
