UWindsor participating in future pandemic research

The University of Windsor will play a major role in preparing Canada for future pandemics.

The university has been named a partner in one of five new federal research hubs. Earlier this month, the federal government announced $10 million to support the hubs.

UWindsor will be a major partner in the University of Toronto-led hub called the Canadian Hub for Health Intelligence & Innovation in Infectious Diseases (HI3).

The research will focus on vaccine development, automation in biomanufacturing, and health intelligence.

The UWindsor researchers include Kenneth Ng and Yufeng Tong from Chemistry and Biochemistry, Kendall Soucie from Psychology, Pooya Moradian Zadeh from Computer Science, Arezoo Emadi from Engineering, Mike McKay from the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, and Lisa Porter from Biomedical Sciences and the WE-SPARK Health Institute.
