#ICYMI this open-access @ImmunoHorizons article: Interested in how to improve #reproducibility in your assays using human PBMCs? This study assessed the effects of different cell preparations on flow cytometry assays and uncovered differences in cell fitness. https://t.co/WGTjmXwzz3

[University of British Columbia @UBC]

This morning, Minister @KahlonRav visited UBC to announce an investment of $33M investment in Canada’s Immuno-Engineering & Biomanufacturing Hub, a national initiative led by @UBC. Funding supports 4 major research projects in vaccine development, antibody discovery, public trust in immunization, and biomanufacturing.

This investment helps ensure discoveries made in BC can be developed, manufactured & delivered to improve lives here and around the world—while training the next generation of researchers and innovators and growing BC’s life sciences sector.

We are also grateful for $15M supporting 71 UBC projects across fields, ensuring researchers, students & industry partners have access to world-class infrastructure that drives discovery & solutions to urgent challenges.
