🧬 Did you know DNA Day is tomorrow?
It celebrates the discovery of the DNA double helix & the Human Genome Project, milestones that changed how we understand life, health & disease.
At the GSC, we work with DNA every day. Since DNA Day falls on a weekend this year, why not be a citizen scientist? 🍓🧪
“The importance of biodiversity is that it gives us a way to understand the world that we live in.”
We are excited to unveil the first of the GSC’s three new mandate videos: this one is on Biodiversity, Environment, & Agriculture which showcases our collaborations and impact in these sectors.
A new Canadian collaboration is advancing the future of precision oncology!
The GSC is partnering with Genetrack Biolabs to develop GenTraceDx™, a “living” cancer diagnostic platform that continuously updates genomic insights as new therapies and discoveries emerge.
