McMaster University has been at the forefront supporting efforts to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic over the past few years. As the effects of the pandemic wear off and we slowly return to our normal, we would like to outline some of the great work that came out of McMaster over the past fiscal year. Everyday across our campus, our faculty and students are making a difference maximizing our benefit to society and changing lives around the world.

COVID-19 changed how people around the world work and live, but it has also highlighted how the expertise in the McMaster research community could be brought to bear to solve those challenges. Without a doubt, our expertise and deep knowledge in infectious diseases, diagnostic testing, vaccine development, biomanufacturing, therapeutic testing, and clinical guideline development have made headlines – and a huge impact – at home and across the globe.
