Antimicrobial Resistance – One Health Consortium (AMR-OHC) is a pan-Alberta collaborative platform focused on antimicrobial use and resistance research, innovation, policy, training, outreach, and commercialization. We use a transdisciplinary, multisectoral One Health approach, to promote self-sustaining clinical, epidemiologic, basic and social sciences, and translational research on AMR in Alberta that will be scalable to all of Canada.

Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Network (CAN-AMR-Net) is a One Health research training platform, bringing together experts from over 25 institutions in Canada and internationally. With five hubs across the country, CAN-AMR-Net’s main goal is to tackle AMR through transdisciplinary approaches, preparing the next generation of researchers and practitioners while enhancing employability and career growth.


Launched in 2024, Canopy, the Canadian One Health Training Program on Emerging Zoonoses, supports a growing community of mentors and emerging leaders working towards a healthier future. The goal of Canopy is to develop highly skilled researchers and professionals in various disciplines, shaping an emerging community of practice and a new generation of One Health advocates across Canada.

Mission Statement
