Canadian Program on Genomics and Global Health (CPGGH)

Summary

In industrialized countries life expectancy is 80 years and rising, but in parts of the developing world it is 40 years and falling. While genomics/biotechnology can help address health challenges facing both the developed and the developing world, there are growing knowledge gaps in the global community. The goal of the Canadian Program on Genomics and Global Health (CPGGH) is to help close some of those gaps.
