Agents of Infection
The ImPaKT Facility aligns top researchers, state-of-the-art tools to combat deadly pathogens

Collaborate

The Imaging Pathogens for Knowledge Translation (ImPaKT) Facility features barrier-enclosed imaging scanners and instrumentation which will allow researchers to develop tools and methods to better understand the progression of infectious diseases, identify efficacious antimicrobial agents, develop diagnostic reagents to characterize hidden reservoirs of pathogens, and for the early and accurate detection of infections.

The Facility

ImPaKT Facility is a one-of-a-kind facility combining PHAC certified containment level standards (CL2+ and CL3) with advanced in vivo imaging modalities.
