The BRILLIANT Team

The BRILLANT (Biomedical Research and Informatics Living Laboratory for Innovative Advances of New Technologies) research project was recently awarded a $5 million grant from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation. The ground-breaking project was developed by a team of researchers from McGill University, Université de Montréal, and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation.

The BRILLIANT-Rehab research team comprises 10 principal investigators from McGill University and Université de Montréal. Eight are researchers from the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation, one of the largest rehabilitation research centres in Canada.
