Western University says it has received $16-million in federal funding for pandemic research at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. Western says the funds, received as part of the federal Biosciences Research Infrastructure Fund will go toward its new biocontainment facility at its Pathogen Research Centre. The university says the grant supports the expansion of its Imaging Pathogens for Knowledge Translation facility to include a unit to test new antimicrobial strategies. The unit will also house a drug manufacturing facility for research and industry partners to produce pharmaceutical-grade drugs at Western.
