Genome Alberta

In partnership with Genome Canada and the Province of Alberta, Genome Alberta was established in 2005 to focus on genomics as one of the central components of the life sciences in Alberta, and to help position genomics as a core research effort. We are a publicly funded not-for-profit corporation that initiates, funds, and manages genomics research and partnerships. Genome Alberta strives to be the leading source of information and administration related to genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and bioethics research in Alberta. We are dedicated to informing students, researchers, research organizations, our partners, and the public regarding opportunities and challenges in genomics and other omics fields, and in encouraging the development of a strong life sciences sector in Alberta.
