About Us
Core Scientific Divisions
The institute is organised into Scientific Divisions that collaboratively support McGill's initiatives in genomic medicine.
Strategic Vision
As we continue to unravel the secrets of the genome, we remain dedicated to making a positive difference in the world. Whether it's improving personalized medicine, safeguarding biodiversity, or addressing pressing global legal, ethical and health challenges, the Institute of Genomic Medicine is at the forefront of genomic innovation, forging a path toward a healthier, more sustainable, and informed future.
Research Initiatives
The Institute organises and participates large-scale research initiatives with national and global impact, by actively engaging with leading research institutions, healthcare providers, industry partners, and policy makers worldwide. By doing this together, we amplify our impact and accelerate the translation of genomic knowledge into tangible benefits for patients, communities, and the environment. We aim to expand the influence of our health and policy research, ensuring its transition from scientific knowledge to tangible patient benefits.
Education and Training
Education is a cornerstone of our mission. We are committed to nurturing the next generation of genomic scientists through training programs, workshops, and internships. Additionally, we strive to make genomics, ethics and public policy accessible to everyone, sharing our knowledge with the broader community through outreach initiatives, public lectures, and educational resources.
