Global Nexus, short for Global Nexus for Pandemics and Biological Threats, is a Canadian public-private partnership based in Hamilton, Ontario. It is described as "a partnership-focused health innovation accelerator" based out of the McMaster University Faculty of Health Sciences.[1]
Global Nexus researchers developed an inhaled COVID-19 vaccine currently entering Phase 2 clinical trials.[2]
On April 23, 2024, Pfizer announced a $500,000 investment in Global Nexus for the training of "emerging scholars from equity-deserving groups in the field of vaccinology, as well as students conducting vaccine research focused on populations who are especially vulnerable to infectious diseases."[2:1][3]
