Over the next 4 years, researchers will conduct the largest genomics study ever undertaken in Manitoba & Saskatchewan. This project will place the prairies at the forefront of cutting-edge medical research & innovation, uncovering life-changing insights into genetic and molecular drivers of disease.

Fantastic to see PrairieGen - A Multi-omics Approach to Advancing Data Integration from Manitoba and Saskatchewan Populations into the Pan-Canadian Genome Library - funded through this important initiative! This project will be led by BMG's own @zovoilislab.bsky.social and Cheryl Rockman-Greenberg

A groundbreaking research initiative, PrairieGen, is set to redefine how chronic and genetic diseases – such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, metabolic disorders, and pediatric disorders – are detected and treated. Read more: news.umanitoba.ca/uncovering-t...
