CIEBH’s research leadership group is helping build Canada’s capacity to rapidly develop new technologies based on engineering immune responses from fundamental science through to biomanufacturing, regulatory science, and clinical trials.
Importantly, CIEBH is committed to breaking down the disciplinary, institutional, and sector silos that have long-characterized the translational pipeline through the active engagement of a diverse range of stakeholders in the earliest stages of the translational process, including: researchers, patients, care providers, social scientists, health authorities, policy makers, and public health, clinical trials, regulatory, manufacturing, and commercialization experts.
