ECaPPH is a unique bio-innovation and bio-fabrication ecosystem co-led by three Quebec universities (Université de Montréal - McGill University - Université Laval), with the mission of providing Canada with a resilient and agile response to future pandemics and health threats. To achieve this, ECaPPH focuses on building research and training capacity, and promoting and facilitating collaboration between institutional, not-for-profit, industry, private and/or public partners.

Working closely with funding organizations (Canada Biomedical Research Fund and Biosciences Research Infrastructure Fund) and other Canadian pandemic preparedness hubs,  ECaPPH aims to create a national ecosystem that will contributes globally to the detection of emerging threats and the implementation of national responses in the event of a pandemic.

ECaPPH's mission is to increase the agility, connectivity and growth of the biomanufacturing and life sciences sector, so that Canada is ready to face future pandemics and health crises. ECaPPH will achieve this by bringing together the expertise and resources of industry, not-for-profit organizations, government agencies and academic institutions to establish and update strategic priorities, identify and fill gaps, create opportunities for growth, and support multi-stakeholder projects between industry and academia.

ECaPPH will support the implementation of genomics-based diagnostics and new RNA-based therapies and vaccines. It will also develop existing platforms and technologies, promote the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and boost the production and evaluation of vaccines, small molecules and cell-based therapies for emerging infections.

Increasing specialized infrastructures and multidisciplinary applied research capacity
Priority pathogens causing pandemics and emerging health risks. Focus on diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics, while addressing critical gaps that slow down biomanufacturing. 

Supporting training and development to strengthen the pipeline of qualified researchers and talent
Attract and develop highly-qualified personnel, such as students, post-docs, early-career researchers and industry research, engineering and biomanufacturing technicians trained in Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). 
 
Accelerating the transition from promising research results to commercially-viable processes and products
Strengthen the receptor capacity of public and private developers of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics; support the creation of intellectual property in Canada; and increase the capacity of institutions to work in collaboration with companies  including those supported by the Strategic Innovatation Fund.
