Emerging and Pandemics Infections Consortium

The Emerging and Pandemic Infections Consortium (EPIC), which includes the Toronto High Containment Facility (THCF) Containment Level 3 laboratory, has supported the Greater Toronto Area’s biomedical ecosystem for more than two decades. EPIC facilitates high-impact academic and industry research on infectious pathogens, including HIV, tuberculosis and emerging global health threats. Through coordinated research, training and knowledge translation, EPIC accelerates the development and implementation of diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines and clinical interventions that strengthen regional and national response capacity.
