2025 Emerging and Pandemic Infections Consortium Symposium – Oct 16, 2025
Session Description
October 16, 2025 @ 8:00 am - 6:00 pm
Join the third annual Emerging and Pandemic Infections Consortium (EPIC) symposium! Get ready to dive deep into the world of emerging and pandemic infections with the experts!
The EPIC Symposium is a day of research talks and panel discussions from experts in infectious diseases and public health. The 2025 EPIC Symposium will feature invited guest speakers and U of T faculty who are leaders in the fields of infectious disease research and public health. This year, we are excited to partner with the Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases (CVPD) to present a day centered on the theme of “Immunizations: sustaining progress and impact in a changing landscape“.
Like last year, there will also be a trainee lightening round where graduate students in related fields will share their research in five minutes! Finally, our invited experts will hold a panel discussion and audience members will have the chance to ask questions directly to our keynote speakers. Our invited speakers, trainees, and professors will then get the chance to cross-connect during our networking reception which will round off the day!
Hosted at the Toronto Reference Library, the EPIC symposium is in a convenient location for trainees and professionals all over the city to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
The event is free to attend for anyone who has a primary affiliation at one of EPIC’s partner institutes (Hospital for Sick Children, Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Sunnybrook Research Institute, Unity Health Toronto, University Health Network and University of Toronto). Please register with your institutional address.
Those who are not affiliated with the University of Toronto are most welcome to attend!
