This investment will generate a coordinated, large-scale, diverse genomic data asset that reflects Canada’s population.
Ontario Genomics is please to share Genome Canada’s announcement of the Canadian Precision Health Initiative (CPHI).
Through the CPHI, genomic data from 100,000+ people across Canada will be gathered, shared and made accessible to help transform our health-care approach into a modern, precision health system that can have enormous impacts for all Canadians.
The initiative comprises four integrated, connected pillars of activity. Pillar 1: Generating population-level genomic data, will focus on the creation of national data assets that are accessible and reflect the diversity of Canada’s population.
Within Pillar 1, Ontario Genomics is the lead Centre for 4 awarded projects and the co-lead Centre for 2 awarded projects.
