The availability of reliable, rapid diagnostics is key to reopening our economies. Canada has an opportunity to take a leadership role in accelerating the development of these tests through a coordinated Canadian response. The goal is to support researchers to build networks and find collaborators/industry partners to advance their ideas to clinical trial and mass production. To that end, Dr. Mona Nemer and the Office of the Chief Science Advisor (OCSA) is creating an inventory of R&D activities for COVID-19 diagnostics in Canadian academic institutions.
