Hi We have a number of scientists here who work on a number of specific diseases including influenza and HIV among a number

of others. We have a fair amount of expertise and research interest in infection prevention and control, at this point primarily in hospitals. There is expertise in emergency preparedness as we are affiliated with the National Microbiology Laboratory and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
