strong> for a special edition of Disruptors & Dilemmas\, featuring alumni and faculty from U of T Engineering\, the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy\, and the University of
Toronto Mississauga. The Future of Vaccine P
roduction: Giving Canadian Biomanufacturing a Shot in the Arm The COVID-19 pandemic exposed gaps in Canada’s preparedness to a
ddress great challenges in the biomanufacturing space\, including domestic
production of vaccines. Disruptors & Dilemmas asks a panel of multi-disci
plinary experts to provide their insights on Canada’s response to COVID-19
\, and how the fields of chemistry\, engineering\, and pharmacy are equipp
ed to address future global crises. Through exciting initiatives at the Un
iversity of Toronto and beyond\, our alumni and faculty hold the keys to u
nlocking the power of Canadian biomanufacturing to ensure that we are a wo
rld leader for the next great challenge. This free virtual speaker
panel will be moderated by Claire Kennedy\, Co-Chair of the Defy Gravity
Campaign and Former Chair of University of Toronto’s Governing Council. Gu
ests will be invited to engage in Q&A with the panelists following the dis
