NRC Genomics and Health Initiative

In The Spotlight

Sensing pathogenic problems on a chip

Detecting deadly pathogens like E. coli and Listeria quickly and accurately could prevent future public health crises, which is the idea behind new sensing technologies being developed at NRC.

NRC-GHI is using advances in genome science and health research to benefit a variety of Canadian industries. Our efforts advance genome and health research in areas such as: the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of chronic and infectious diseases; agricultural crop improvements; and environmental technologies.


 

Genomics R&D Initiative (GRDI)

GRDI coordinates federal science departments and agencies in the field of genomics research. Its strategic goal is to contribute solutions to issues that are important to Canadians, focusing on the role of federal government research.
