NOSM University researchers help Canada prepare for future health emergencies

Drs. Barb Zelek and Brianne Wood at the NOSM University Research Toward Health Hub (NORTHH)—part of the Dr. Gilles Arcand Centre for Health Equity—are supporting a new national initiative, the PREPARED project. It is led by Dr. Andrew Pinto at Upstream Lab, Unity Health Toronto, with support from researchers and research and industry partners in six provinces. The project has received $18.9 million from the Canada Biomedical Research Fund to protect Canada against future pandemics.   Pandemics such as SARS, COVID-19, H1N1, and the mpox outbreak have shown that Canada needs to improve its preparedness for future health emergencies...
