Discover HI3
The Canadian Hub for Health Intelligence and Innovation in Infectious Diseases (HI3) is a University of Toronto-led coalition of over 90 partners that brings together globally-recognized scientific research; world-class hospitals and clinical care; a vibrant translational ecosystem supporting commercialization; and a diverse, cross-disciplinary talent pipeline.
HI3 leverages its partners’ strengths, existing assets, and contributions to collaboratively address challenges in the translation, and commercialization of discoveries into patient care, prioritizing three Research & Development Themes. This multi-sectoral ecosystem will help establish national readiness by increasing the biomanufacturing capacity for medical countermeasures (MCMs) across Canada and driving the development of solutions for emergent health threats that are equitably accessed by all Canadians.
Vision
Unite research, healthcare and biomanufacturing through close, multi-sectoral cooperation.

Land Acknowledgement
Although HI³’s network of partners span across Canada, our administrative operations are based at the University of Toronto and we wish to acknowledge this land on which the University operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
