20 years collaborating on the future
The creation of Genome Canada in 2000 was a bold idea come to life on the heels of the Human Genome Project. From the beginning, Genome Canada and the six regional Genome Centres harnessed the power and potential of genomics to improve the lives of Canadians and advance Canada’s leadership in the field.
Thanks to two decades of investment in the Genomics Enterprise, big research breakthroughs and transformative technological advancements, Canada’s genomics researchers are expanding the margins of what we once thought possible in the life sciences as they chart the future of healthcare, agriculture and manufacturing across the bioeconomy.
