Our Vision:

Genome Sciences will revolutionize many aspects of our lives and provide solutions to humankind’s challenges.

Our Mission:

Genome BC leads academia, government and industry to develop a world-class genome sciences region that will deliver social and economic benefits to British Columbia, Canada and beyond, through:

• Excellent projects and technology platforms,
• Innovative applications for the life sciences cluster,
• Strategic international collaborations, and
• Proactive leadership in exploring societal impacts of genome sciences.

Our Strategy:

We are a catalyst for a successful life sciences cluster. By bringing together research organizations, industry and government, Genome BC delivers programs in applied and translational research grounded in the genome sciences, securing benefits for Canadians and other citizens of the world through its investments.

We develop research programs to facilitate the translation of genome sciences-based research into practical applications in areas of strategic importance. A close interface with end-users in each sector ensures that sector priorities are addressed through solutions-oriented research.

To maximize the chance of success for the translation of knowledge into practice, Genome BC integrates the wisdom of industry decision-makers and government regulators and, in the health sector, of current and future health care practitioners and administrators.
