As the COVID-19 pandemic nears its one-year mark, we have learned much about how the body reacts to this infection. There has been remarkable development of several highly effective vaccines and multiple treatments are also being investigated currently. Our panel of clinicians and scientists will discuss the various vaccine platforms, their safety profiles, and how they lead to protective immunity against the virus. They will also discuss recent data on new anti-viral drugs currently being evaluated, and highlight research efforts led by Canadian researchers to combat this pandemic.

About Café Scientifique
The University of Manitoba Café Scientifiques bring together experts with non-researchers (you, me, neighbours and friends) in a relaxed atmosphere (wherever you are joining us from virtually!), to learn about their research and the questions it raises. Cafés are scheduled throughout the academic year, on a weeknight, and encompass topics that reflect the breadth of research underway at the UM. They are hosted and organized by the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International).
