Institute for Pandemics

On August 19, 2020, the Dalla Lana School of Public Health launched the University of Toronto’s Institute for Pandemics, the world’s first academic centre exclusively dedicated to preventing, preparing for, fighting and recovering from pandemics.

Forged by our experts’ front-line experience with COVID-19, drawn from our deep history in public health and health systems, and ignited by the vision of innovative, progressive supporters, the Institute is urgently committed to helping Canada and our planet. Starting now.
