Vancouver, BC – Genome BC is pleased to announce the release of our updated and expanded website. The website was updated to: increase awareness of the value genomics brings to BC; increase the opportunity for science teachers and students to acquire value added curriculum support, and help create long term interest in genomics based science; be the main portal of information for BC scientists and researchers in terms of funding opportunities and research programs for genomics; and, foster international collaborations and partnerships.
The new design and user-friendly navigation includes new features such as: pre-qualification buttons on the homepage that allows users to find specific information relevant to areas of interest quickly; direct links to funding competitions and programs; direct links to classroom activities; genomics in action stories that articulate the results and impacts of Genome BC-funded research and easy to use infographics.
The updated website was designed by Chris Fagan, Fusebox Communications (www.fuseboxcomm.com) and built by Damian Lee, Metro Web Systems (www.metrowebsys.com).
Please feel free to check out the new website “www.genomebc.ca” and follow us on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. We welcome your feedback! We hope that you will enjoy browsing our new site, finding more options and information each time.
