About
The Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) is a world leader in infectious disease research and vaccine development for humans and animals. VIDO’s expertise, infrastructure, and history put us at the forefront of innovation and make us a valuable resource and a source of pride for Canada. For 5 decades, we have been developing solutions to emerging threats and currently have over forty animal models of infectious disease. VIDO is expanding our capabilities as a Centre for Pandemic Research. This includes our Vaccine Development Centre, a containment level 3 capable biomanufacturing facility that meets GMP requirements, adding containment level 4 capacity and building a new animal facility capable of housing a wider range of animals to expand our preclinical research and development capacity. These important enhancements will support scientists from Canada and around the world to develop vaccines and therapeutics for humans and animals. Our containment infrastructure and infectious disease expertise is accessible to Government, Industry and Academia on a contract basis.
