Génome Québec is pleased to share the Québec results in conjunction with two Genome Canada competitions.
In total, Québec secured $20 million funding for four projects that will drive the development of genomics solutions in the fisheries, agri-food, health and digital sectors
The 2018 Large-Scale Applied Research Project Competition: Genomics Solutions for Agriculture,
Agri-food, Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to support projects leading to solutions that advance the sustainability, productive capacity and competitive position of the agriculture, agri-food, fisheries and aquaculture sectors.
- Congratulations to researcher Louis Bernatchez (Institut de biologie intégrative des systèmes (IBIS) – Université Laval, for his project FISHES: Fostering Indigenous Small-scale Fisheries for Health, Economy and Food Security.
The Genomic Applications Partnership Program (GAPP) encourages partnerships between university researchers and end users in order to meet the needs of key sectors (human health, agriculture, forestry, the environment). Initiatives funded under the program offer real-world solutions to current problems and build stronger bridges between industry and end users.
Congratulations to the three research teams:
- Christoph Borchers (McGill University)
Developing the Next Generation PD-L1 Assays Using Precision Mass Spectrometry.
- Steve Labrie (INAF – Université Laval)
Genomic-based approach to optimize the development of texturizing bacterial strains in yogurt.
- Jérôme Waldispühl (McGill University)
Crowdsourcing sequence alignments in a AAA game for microbiome research.
