The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic helped start a new diagnostic testing and research facility at the University of Calgary focused on infections.
The Alberta Centre for Advanced Diagnostics aims to become a new hub in the global push to advance diagnostic technology.
"After the last three years launching an infectious diseases diagnostic program feels particularly meaningful. Diagnostics have been a critical tool for health-care providers and citizens as we navigate life with COVID-19," Ghali said. Alberta-based companies that have ideas for diagnostic tools can bring them to the centre, which will provide them with advisers to help develop them.
The University of Calgary, PrairiesCan, Genome Canada and the Canada Foundation for Innovation have spent $14.6 million to establish the new research centre. Additional funding and support comes from Alberta Innovates, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Alberta Precision Laboratories.
