Published: 20 June 2024

In a press release published by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH), it was announced that the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine at 平特五不中 has joined the alliance as a Host Institution. GA4GH is a not-for-profit alliance uniting the international community dedicated to advancing human health through genomic data.

平特五不中鈥檚 Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine joins the ranks of the four existing GA4GH Host Institutions: the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and EMBL鈥檚 European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI). Host Institutions help enable the work of GA4GH by providing services, staff, space, and grant management.

平特五不中 is a significant contributor of innovations in the field of genomics, including through its recent ground-breaking research initiative D2R, which will contribute to developing revolutionary genomic-based RNA medicines. The Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine at 平特五不中 was founded in the Fall of 2022, with a vision of 鈥渁pplying genomic innovation to pave the way towards a healthier, more sustainable, and informed future.鈥 The Victor Philip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine is home to Centre of Genomics and Policy and Canadian Centre for Computational Genomics.

The addition of this new Host Institution will:

  • Accelerate and expand the work of the GA4GH Regulatory & Ethics Work Stream, which develops guidance on the ethical, legal, and social issues in genomic research and international data sharing.
  • Tap into several technical communities, including The Pan-Canadian Genomic Library, which aims to facilitate responsible genomic data sharing across Canada, and EpiShare, an open science project that makes epigenomic datasets more accessible.
