Genome BC
We lead academia, government and industry to develop world-class genome sciences that deliver social and economic benefits to British Columbia, Canada and beyond.
- Dr. Van Hamme TRU is partnering with Vitalus Dairy on a Genome BC–funded project using #Genomics to improve #Dairy product quality + safety 🧬🥛 The team is developing a PCR test for faster more precise quality control of milk proteins + dairy powders—for safer production + reduced waste
- Our 2 H5N1 research projects are making great progress Progress: baselines for farm air sampling, new testing platform, ⬆️ wastewater tracking for early detection, new genomic surveillance tools & more bccdc.ca/resource-gallery/Do…
- Our CSO & VP, Research and Innovation, Federica Di Palma joined Sally Greenwood and Julia Hill at the #FestivalOfGenomics & Biodata in London. A chance to connect with leaders across science, health, industry + policy on how genomics, AI + biodata can drive better patient outcomes.🧬🌍
- 🧬 #TrainingOpportunity: #Genomics in Agriculture Join KPU Applied Genomics Centre for a hands-on workshop (Feb 18–20) exploring #Practical #Genomic tools for agrifood Beginner-friendly Tuition coverage through the #StrongerBC #FutureSkills #Grant kpu.ca/cps/courses/genomic…
- 🎶 The Music That Moves Us Why does music get stuck in our heads, make us cry in the car or bring people together without a single word? Is our connection to music something we learn… or something written into our DNA? Turn up the volume and tune in to Nice Genes! Live. 🎧 ow.ly/WxnL50Y5aK9
- Wes Peterson and Simren Brar represented Genome BC at the BC Natural Resources Forum, joining 1,700+ delegates to discuss mining’s economic impact, critical minerals and building future talent through post-secondary engagement in Northern BC.
