Research
In 2021, the University of Toronto ranked first in Canada and fifth globally in the number of publications related to COVID-19. Many of these publications leveraged the Toronto High Containment Facility and the expertise of our faculty members in infectious diseases, immunology, genomics and engineering.
Building on this achievement, our community once again helped to drive U of T to a global fifth place ranking in 2022 based on the number of publications in the top 10 per cent most cited articles. Below are some research impact key metrics from our first year (2022-23).
