"The Genome Sciences Centre (GSC) is here to support your research. We collaborate with investigators to design robust experiments, process complex and high-value biological samples, and provide advanced sequencing and bioinformatics services—all with the goal of making genomics accessible and impactful for the global scientific community.

Explore our technology platforms and service offerings, and if you are interested in collaborating or have questions, please complete our contact form or reach out directly to one of our platform leads.

The GSC is ISO/IEC 27001 certified for information security management, ensuring the highest standards in data protection and confidentiality.”

The 16 faculty members at the GSC have a diverse range of expertise in genomics, bioinformatics, proteomics, epigenomics, immunogenetics, cancer biology, computer science and software development. Together, we apply our knowledge to advance the global understanding of cancer and other diseases with an ultimate aim toward improving human health through disease prevention, the development of novel diagnostic strategies and by uncovering new therapeutic approaches, all the while helping the world to realize the social and economic benefits of genome research.

The GSC is unique in that it fosters close collaborations between scientists and clinicians, allowing for an unencumbered focus on direct translational research. Through the Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) program, the GSC deploys whole genome and transcriptome sequencing to inform therapeutic and management strategies for late-stage cancer patients in real time. The GSC is also certified by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and the Diagnostic Accreditation Program (DAP) to perform clinical genomic panel testing.
