Governance
The Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology (LKSIoV) unites a consortium of over 50 exemplary researchers. Although most LKSIoV members are associated with the Department of Medical Microbiology & Immunology at the University of Alberta, member affiliation encompasses 14 Departments and Faculties at the University of Alberta. Additionally, some of our members are located in other Canadian institutions.
The success of our members, and ultimately the LKSIoV is dependent on both intra- and inter-collegiate connections, including other local, national, and international collaborators.
At a glance, LKSIoV members have collaborators in:
- 21 Departments or Institutes at the University of Alberta;
- 15 Institutes within Canada; and
- 90 Institutes in 25 countries around the world!
