Research Organizations:
Vaccine & Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO)
Located within the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, VIDO
is an internationally-acclaimed Centre of Excellence in
agricultural biotechnology and veterinary infectious diseases.
VIDO is involved in the discovery and commercialization of a
number of therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostic tools for the
livestock industry. Thirty patents have been issued world wide
and ten patents are pending in the United States alone.

Centre for Microbial Diseases and Immunity Research (CMDR)
The CMDR is a multi-faculty, multi-department consortium of world class microbial diseases and immunology researchers at the University of British Columbia. Its scope encompases the molecular mechanisms of bacterial, viral, fungal and microbial parasite pathogenesis, host responses to and defenses against these agents, basic mechanisms of host immunity, and novel therapeutic and clinical approaches to the treatment of microbial and immunological diseases.
