The Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) Consortium will be led by Kelley Lee, professor in SFU’s Faculty of Health Sciences, alongside co-director Ève Dubé, adjunct professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Université Laval. The funding comes from the Canada Biomedical Research Fund and Biosciences Research Infrastructure Fund—Stage 2, and the BC Knowledge Development Fund.
The SSH Consortium will bring together leading social scientists from across Canada and globally to better understand and support confidence in, and equitable access to, vaccines and other immune-based innovations. This work will support the rapidly advancing field of immuno-engineering, which has the potential to develop new lifesaving and health promoting vaccines and therapeutics.
