The Doctor of Philosophy in Vaccinology and Immunotherapeutics is a multidisciplinary research program studying the design, production, and societal implications of vaccines and other immunotherapeutics. Students choose from three research streams: Social Issues, covering the social, health-care, legal, and ethical dimensions of vaccination; Design & Production, focused on developing vaccines and immunotherapeutics; and Scientific Bases, focused on the underlying science of vaccines and immunotherapeutics. The program combines interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary academic coursework with hands-on research conducted under the mentorship of a team of experts, and gives students access to research facilities including the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization and International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac), the Canadian Light Source, and Innovation Place, one of the largest university-related research parks in North America. Admission normally follows a relevant master's degree in a related academic discipline, and instruction is delivered on the University of Saskatchewan campus. Graduates are prepared for research careers addressing infectious disease and vaccine science in academic, government, and industry settings.
