The Canadian Pandemic Preparedness Hub (CP2H) has been awarded more than $115 million to boost Canada’s capacity to develop and manufacture life-saving biotherapeutics, including vaccines, gene therapies and cell therapies.
CP2H is co-led by McMaster University and the University of Ottawa, in partnership with The Ottawa Hospital.
This is uOttawa
With close to a hundred universities in Canada to choose from, here’s what makes uOttawa different.
Advanced Medical Research Centre
uOttawa making the largest investment in its history to fuel health research
Members of the Ottawa’s healthcare community joined researchers, educators, community leaders and investors on May 9 to break ground on the Advanced Medical Research Centre (AMRC), the University of Ottawa’s new initiative to grow the medical biotechnology sector in the Ottawa region.
“As a result of what will soon take place at the AMRC, many people in Ottawa, in Canada, and across the world will be far better off,” noted Dr. Bernard Jasmin, Dean of Medicine at uOttawa. “And our guiding star will always be about improving care outcomes for patients.”
Scheduled to open in 2026, the ARMC is uOttawa’s largest capital investment it its history. It will bridge the gap between the discovery and commercialization of health treatments, providing 350,000 square feet of ultra-modern laboratory and research space.
The ARMC promises to be a game changer for biotechnology in the National Capital Region, as the University of Ottawa and its partners chart the path to a brighter, healthier future. Better healthcare starts here.

Students debate the first Choix Goncourt Canada at the University of Ottawa
Young university students from Ontario, New Brunswick and British Columbia have agreed to be a part of the jury for the first edition of the Choix Goncourt Canada.
The French Department of the University of Ottawa is involved in the initiative. Students at bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels, alongside Mawy Bouchard, professor and director of the department, jumped right in and created a book club to read the works being considered for the 2023 Prix Goncourt in order to choose which to defend. Claudia Bouliane, professor in the department, oversaw the process.
