We will be hosting a trainee workshop titled: “Emerging Pathogen Containment: An introduction to research approaches”.
In this workshop, trainees will get an inside look at how research involving high containment pathogens is conducted in academic environments. The sessions will include an overview of the Canadian regulatory structure for work with emerging pathogens, case studies of program redesign, interactive risk assessment activities and a walk-through tour of the Toronto High Containment Facility.
Trainees at EPIC partnered institutions or trainee members of Canopy (Canadian One Health Training Program on Emerging Zoonoses) are eligible to register for the workshop, but spaces are limited and will be assigned based on first responses.
