USask receives $1M to support vaccine, infectious disease research

The University of Saskatchewan’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) has received a $1M donation from Ellen Remai through the Frank and Ellen Remai Foundation. This gift to the Friends of VIDO fund will contribute to necessary facility enhancements, new equipment, scientific training, and research chairs and fellowship opportunities. “We are very fortunate to receive this significant gift from Ellen Remai, who is a tremendous and visionary community supporter,” said USask President Peter Stoicheff. “Mrs Remai’s gift speaks volumes about the potential benefits and impact of VIDO’s research, not only here in Saskatoon, but around the globe.”
