🎬 How do shows like Grey’s Anatomy and HOUSE shape the way we see science?
In #NiceGenes “Genetics and the Silver Screen,” Dr. Kaylee Byers talks with Dr. Krysta Coyle and Ayden Eilmus about what TV gets right—and wrong—about genomics.
We’re looking forward to an evening of discovery, ideas and inspiration. If you’re joining us, don’t forget to tag @genomebc.bsky.social and use #DRDK2025 in your posts throughout the event to be entered to win a swag bag out of this world.
We're investing $1M in @kwantlenu.bsky.social's Applied Genomics Centre to expand agri research + innovation.
The AGC, now supported by Genome BC, is Canada’s first Technical Access Centre in applied agricultural genomics, strengthening BC as a leader in agritech.
At the 27th Annual #LSBCAwards we celebrated the people & organizations driving BC’s life sciences forward. 👏 Congrats to Dr. Fiona Brinkman, recipient of the Genome BC Award for Scientific Excellence. #LifeSciences#BCInnovation#GenomeBC
Breakthrough: The @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social reports a UK trial of a one-time gene therapy that may slow #Huntingtons disease by up to 75%. While still awaiting approval, this could mean decades of improved quality of life. A major step forward in genetic medicine.
Genome BC invests in research, innovation and talent to foster collaborative partnerships, including with the GSC, that drive innovation and economic stability.
Join us for Science, Stand-Up, & Song on Oct 16th @sbmeubc.bsky.social !🙌 This one-of-a-kind variety show includes expert stem cell scientists, amazing comedians, and music throughout! 👩🔬🎤🎵 🎟 bit.ly/sciencestanduptickets
Canada’s fastest academic supercomputer is live after an $80M upgrade. 🌟 Shoutout to Dr. Fiona Brinkman, whose pioneering microbial genomics work will leverage this power to accelerate science.
Today, @genomebc.bsky.social announced funding for four new UBC research projects through Canada’s Immuno-Engineering and Biomanufacturing Hub (CIEBH), a UBC-led national initiative aimed at building a smarter, faster health response for Canada: www.med.ubc.ca/news/new-pro...
Through our I² Fund, we've invested $3.25M in innovative agriculture: Maia Farms produces scalable, fermentation-based mushroom mycelium for sustainable ingredients maiafarms.com Verdi provides tech to help farmers access data + innovation verdi.ag
🚀 We’re excited to share @genomecanada.ca 's new white paper on The Convergence of Genomics and Artificial Intelligence—now live
This is the first in a series of publications we’ll be releasing this fall to spotlight key opportunities for Canadian genomics: genomecanada.ca/wp-content/u...
🚽💡 Sewage holds secrets. In our new Nice Genes! episode, Dr. Kaylee Byers & guests reveal how wastewater surveillance tracks outbreaks—from early warnings to chasing polio in Nigeria.
When an unknown new disease began to show up in BC blueberry fields BC Blueberry Council research director Eric Gerbrandt teamed up with @sfubiosciences.bsky.social plant geneticist Jim Mattsson to understand why standard testing sometimes fails to identify viruses in sick plants.
