Not a word, yet…

Let's start with the basics: The MOHCCN is the realization of a long-standing vision of Terry Fox Research Institute. Inspired by Terry's Marathon Of Hope, we're uniting patients, researchers, clinicians and administrators from cancer centres across 🇨🇦 to accelerate precision medicine.

GenomeBC is thrilled that the BC government is investing in the Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre - keeping BC genomics on the leading edge and expanding the scope! #genomics #Genomicsresearch #bcgovernment

A ‘small’ province like Saskatchewan has made complex genomic profiling part of their standard of care. Truly impressive. Thank you!

Thank you AstraZeneca Canada and Breast Cancer Canada for your leadership and partnership. Illumina, we are privileged to work with you.

Juneteenth is a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. It commemorates June 19, 1865, when news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Texas. Let us celebrate this important day and continue the fight for equality and justice for all. #Juneteenth
