U of T receives $35 million to modernize high containment facility

The University of Toronto has received $35 million in critical research infrastructure funding from the federal government to revitalize the Toronto High Containment Facility (THCF), an investment that will support a planned $85-million transformation of the facility into the largest academic high-containment research centre in Canada. With significantly increased capacity for research and training, the revitalized Toronto High Containment Facility will be able to drive innovation, enhance pandemic preparedness and strengthen Ontario and Canada’s health security.
