About Us


Canada’s largest microrobotics institute for advancements in life science and clinical applications  

The Microrobotics Institute for Research Advancements in Clinical and Life Science Engineering (MIRACLE Centre) is a world-leading national medical microrobotics research centre at the University of Waterloo, focused on developing wireless, small-scale robots for targeted, minimally invasive medical applications. Discoveries by scientists and engineers have the overall goal to offer highly targeted and noninvasive treatment by active, localized robotic delivery and action. This technology promises to revolutionize conventional medical treatment, particularly impactful in fighting cancer and infections, two of the most pressing global health issues.
