Government of Canada announces major contribution to strengthen Canada’s dual-use life sciences sector

Investments will advance Canada’s industrial capacity and enhance health security

Today, the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, announced a $67 million investment in the life sciences sector through the Life Sciences Fund. These investments will drive economic growth, strengthen health resilience and advance Canada’s dual-use industrial capacity.

The Fund is supporting five projects with dual-use capabilities through the following contributions:

  • Applied Pharmaceutical Innovation (Alberta) will receive up to $21.9 million toward its $23.5 million initiative to launch the Canadian Allied Antimicrobial Supply Resilience. The project will help secure a variety of broad-spectrum antibiotic and other antimicrobial drugs, with applications in the treatment of priority pathogens, antimicrobial-resistant threats and combat-related infections.
  • Avivo Biomedical Inc. (British Columbia) will receive up to $10.9 million toward its $33.9 million project that will advance the development of its technology to expand blood transfusion and organ transplant capabilities. Its platform converts different blood types into Type O (including O negative, the universal donor type), making more transfusion and transplant options available to more patients.
  • Northern RNA (Alberta) will receive up to $6 million toward its $9.5 million project that will establish good manufacturing practice capacity for oligonucleotides and self-amplifying RNA, which are vital technologies for vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics.
