Take a Tour of our laboratory and the surroundings

 

Our laboratory is situated on the 6th floor of the Katz Building and Center for Health Research at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We are a part of the Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology formed in 2010 thanks to sizable donations from the Li Ka Shing Foundation and The Government of Alberta.

The Banquet at the Canadian Society for Virology meeting 2022 - Fort Edmonton Park, June 7th, 2022

The meeting was a resounding success with over 300 attendees, held in Edmonton, Alberta at the University. We heard about bee viruses, plant viruses and of course there was a riveting Monkey pox update from Drs. Vanessa Meier Stephenson and David Evans. This included enlightening discussion from Dr. Marco Vignuzzi @VignuzziLab on the dangers of stigmatization and infectious disease.
