Training
Opportunities for growth and learning
Young people entering the biotech arena, be it in R&D or business, have the opportunity to learn from the wealth of experience of renowned scientists and seasoned business professionals. Through our PREVENT seminars, symposiums and fellowships, we coordinate training and education in the combined disciplines of vaccine research and commercialization, opening for students, doors to the 'real world of vaccine research and development.
Our lineup of symposiums covers a wide variety of interests, from clinical research to economic analysis. Established to act as a catalyst for vaccine development, PREVENT provides a forum for discussion, knowledge building and links and connections between R&D and business development.
Further opportunities include PREVENT internships at three of the nation's pre-eminent research institutes, offering trainees a front-row seat to witness and learn how technology moves from the lab bench to the commercial arena.
As the PREVENT enterprise grows and strengthens, we will welcome accomplished and talented people to work with us, increasing the pool of highly qualified personnel in vaccine discovery and development within Canada.
Headquartered at the University of Saskatchewan, PREVENT operates within the highly sophisticated existing infrastructure of VIDO/Intervac. This 'home' enables our organization to minimize early-development costs and focus PREVENT funding on the implementation of Canada’s New Vaccine Pipeline strategy.
