"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 Genome Sciences Centre (GSC) is home to 16 faculty members with expertise across genomics, computational biology, cancer and disease biology, and broader life sciences. Our research harnesses the power of genomics to improve human health—through better diagnosis, treatment, and disease prevention—and to advance the broader application of genomics across sectors that support a more sustainable and resilient future.”

The Genome Sciences Centre (GSC) is distinguished by its strong integration of research and clinical practice, fostering close collaboration between scientists and clinicians to enable real-time translational impact. Through the Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) program, the GSC applies whole genome and transcriptome sequencing to guide therapeutic decision-making for patients with advanced cancers.
In addition to its research mandate, the GSC is accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and the Diagnostic Accreditation Program (DAP) to perform clinical genomic panel testing, supporting precision medicine initiatives across British Columbia.
