The Genomic Equity Series is a monthly online series co-hosted between DSxHE and the Diverse Data initiative at Genomics England, which aims to share the latest experiences, projects and research of those working to improve equity in genomic medicine across the world.

For the second session of this series, we are delighted to host our colleagues from Genome Canada. The fields of genetics and genomics have made previously unthinkable progress over the last two decades. We have shifted from mapping the human genome to sequencing individual genomes for a mere fraction of the cost, and at record speed. During this time of rapid discovery, the Canadian Genomics Enterprise—a unique investment model comprising Genome Canada and six independent regional Genome Centres—has been a driver of impact-focused investments in health, agriculture, natural resources and environmental sustainability. In this talk, Genome Canada will share their on ongoing efforts to cultivate a research ecosystem…
