Screenshot of text from the linked page reading "The University of Ottawa and The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) are joining forces to establish the Ottawa region as a Canadian leader in biotherapeutics manufacturing, clinical trials and biodefence during a transformative period of growth in these critical sectors. Through this partnership, the planned expansion of TOH’s Biotherapeutics Manufacturing Centrenorth_eastexternal link (BMC) will now be located at the University of Ottawa’s Advanced Medical Research Centre (AMRC), which is set to open later this year. The BMC will continue to be governed and operated by the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI). TOH’s BMC is one of the most experienced and successful biomanufacturing facilities in Canada, having manufactured more than 20 different therapies that incorporate biological materials such as cell, genes and viruses to treat and prevent disease. These therapies have been used in human clinical trials in Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia. The BMC expansion and strengthened partnership between TOH and uOttawa comes at a critical time, as Canadian leaders continue to focus on bolstering Canada’s economy and capacity for innovation, manufacturing and defense, including biodefence and pandemic preparedness."
In truth, I'm much less interested in hearing how "Canadian leaders continue to focus on bolstering Canada’s economy" than about what, if anything, #UOttawa & #OttawaHospital are doing to ensure novel biotherapeutics reach the people who need them, at home & abroad.💊🏭
