Overview
What you will study
Advances in the development of vaccines and cell and gene therapies have brought to the forefront preventive medicine as well as new treatment options for life-impacting conditions, including infections, cancers, diabetes, and heart disease. Vaccine production is expanding in Canada and, as of April 2023, over 2,300 cell and gene therapy products were undergoing clinical trials which can take up to eight years to complete. As a result, health regulators are planning for a significant increase in these products in the next five years.
