Governance

The Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology (LKSIoV) unites a consortium of over 50 exemplary researchers. Although most LKSIoV members are associated with the Department of Medical Microbiology & Immunology at the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, member affiliation encompasses 14 Departments and Faculties at the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥. Additionally, some of our members are located in other Canadian institutions.

The success of our members, and ultimately the LKSIoV is dependent on both intra- and inter-collegiate connections, including other local, national, and international collaborators.

At a glance, LKSIoV members have collaborators in:

  • 21 Departments or Institutes at the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥;
  • 15 Institutes within Canada; and
  • 90 Institutes in 25 countries around the world!
