SUMMARY:H5N1 Influenza in Canada: Risk\, Transmission\, and Vaccine Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ontario Veterinary College\, University of Guelph for their 2026 Chappel Memorial Lecture will featuring Darwyn Kobasa\, Head of the High Containment Respiratory Viruses Group in the Special Pathogens Program at the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg. \nDr. Kobasa will deliver a timely and important lecture titled: “H5N1 Influenza in Canada: Risk\, Transmission\, and Vaccine Strategy”\n \nEstablished by OVC alumnus Clifford Chappel (Class of 1950) in memory of his father\, the Chappel Lecture brings world‑leading scientists to their community each year. \nKobasa’s work focuses on emerging zoonotic respiratory viruses and the development of medical countermeasures\, including vaccines\, antivirals\, and antibody‑based therapies. His team’s research in CL4 containment has been central to understanding the virulence and transmissibility of novel H5N1 genotypes in Canada. \nDate: 23 April\, 2026\nTime: 10:30–11:30 AM EST\nLocation: ECLA 1720 at the Ontario Veterinary College or on Microsoft Teams. \nRegistration is not required.
