Members | Genome Atlantic

Genome Atlantic is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to help Atlantic Canada reap the economic and social benefits of DNA-based genomic technologies. Since 2000, we have delivered more than $150M in applied genomics R&D. We are part of a national network of genome centres committed to enabling innovative, genomics-driven solutions in our regions.

We initiate, help to develop, procure funding for, and manage small and large-scale genomics projects, working in close collaboration with public and private sector partners. Our projects span ocean industries (aquaculture, energy and fisheries), agriculture and agri-foods, forestry, the environment, human health, and mining. All our projects are client-led, focused on solving a specific problem or opportunity our clients want to address.

Genome Atlantic is supported by a combination of federal and provincial funding. Core operations are funded by Genome Canada through the Government of Canada (ISED) and business development efforts are funded by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and the governments of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.
