The Canadore Genomics Research Hub focuses on three key areas of applied research
Agrifood and Agritech
In the Agrifood and Agritech research area, our Genomics Lab is deeply invested in understanding the genomic intricacies of crops and agricultural organisms. By delving into the genetic makeup of plants and agricultural microbiomes, we aim to advance agricultural practices and contribute to regional food security.
Health Sciences Support
Genomics plays a pivotal role in advancing health sciences. We conduct research in cancer genomics, genetic disorders, and personalized medicine. Our efforts are dedicated to understanding the genetic basis of diseases, identifying biomarkers, and exploring targeted therapies for individualized patient care.
Water/Wastewater Research
Water is a precious and finite resource, and our Genomics Lab is committed to studying the genomics of waterborne pathogens, environmental microbes, and the impacts of wastewater treatment processes on public health and the environment.
