Lifting the Curtain on CanCOGeN
July 21, 2020 - 9:00 am - 10:00 am
On April 23, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $40 million in federal funding for a Canadian COVID Genomics Network (CanCOGeN). 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 will coordinate and scale up existing genomics-based COVID-19 research in Canada and internationally in order to accelerate public impact. The network is now up and running; find out how it works from four members who will shed light on the viral sequencing, host sequencing, national data collection and international collaboration aspects of the work underway.
