Description

Genome Alberta invites you and your colleagues to join us for an information session regarding the Genome Canada launched Genomic Applications Partnership Program (GAPP) funding opportunity. The GAPP program funds downstream research and development (R&D) projects that are driven by challenges and opportunities facing the industry or healthcare system wherein solutions can be achieved using genomics based technologies.

Genome Canada’s funding competitions facilitate collaboration between Academia and Industry in order to address industry driven challenges through genomics based solutions. Genomics can be defined as encompassing multiple disciplines including bioinformatics, epigenomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, proteomics, nutrigenomics, pharmacogenomics, and transcriptomics. This information session will bring together Academics and Users interested in potential research proposals, inform them about opportunities for collaboration, and solicit interest in the GAPP program.

This webinar will be recorded. If you are unable to attend, please inform the organizer and a link to the recording can be shared.
