Toronto High Containment Facility Containment Level 3 Lab

The Toronto High Containment Facility (THCF) is a Containment Level 3 (CL3) laboratory providing secure, state-of-the-art infrastructure for research involving infectious pathogens requiring enhanced biosafety controls. Operating under stringent regulatory and safety standards, THCF enables critical research in infectious disease, immunology, diagnostics and medical countermeasure development. During the COVID-19 pandemic, THCF played a key role in Ontario’s response capacity by supporting SARS-CoV-2 research and contributing to the development of diagnostics, therapeutics and evidence to inform public health decision-making.
