About Genome Alberta

Genome Alberta is a publicly funded organization that initiates, funds, and manages genomics research and partnerships. We were established in 2005 as part of Alberta's Life Sciences Strategy through an initiative between the Alberta Government and federally funded Genome Canada.

Genome Alberta is based in Calgary but leads projects at institutions around the province and participates in a variety of other projects based across the country. We are one of Canada's six Genome Centres and work closely with these centres to advance the science and application of genomics, metabolomics and many of the related 'omics'.

Apart from the scientific contributions and advances that comes from our research we contribute directly to the economy and have put almost 20 million dollars into salaries, benefits and consumables since we were created in mid 2005.

We are open to new research initiatives and can facilitate research through our ability to co-ordinate public and private funding, monitor the work through our independent science review process and provide specialised science project management services.
