Genomics on a Mission: Probing COVID’s Secrets with CanCOGeN
Six months in, after the April 2020 announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of $40 million in federal funding for a Canadian COVID Genomics Network (CanCOGeN), where are we now? Led by Genome Canada in partnership with the six regional Genome Centres, national and provincial public health labs, genome sequencing centres through CGEn, hospitals, universities and the private sector, CanCOGeN is coordinating and scaling up existing genomics-based COVID-19 research in Canada and internationally in order to accelerate public impact.
Get the latest from Genome Canada President and CEO Dr. Rob Annan and CanCOGeN Executive Director Dr. Catalina Lopez-Correa on progress to date and how this initiative will serve us in the event of a second wave and as a model for future pandemics.
