DEVELOPING AND DEPLOYING GENOMICS TECHNOLOGIES IN SUPPORT OF CANCER AND LIFE
SCIENCES RESEARCH.

Canada's Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre (GSC) at BC Cancer is an
international leader in genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics for precision
medicine. By developing and deploying cutting-edge genome sequencing,
computational and analytical technology, we are creating novel strategies to
prevent and diagnose cancers and other diseases, uncovering new therapeutic
targets and helping the world realize the social and economic benefits of genome
science. 


TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM

The GSC is available to support your research. We guide experimental design,
facilitate the processing of complex biological samples and provide numerous
sequencing and bioinformatic services with the aim of making genomics accessible
to the international scientific community. Explore our technology platforms and
services, and if you have questions or would like to collaborate please fill out
our contact form or speak directly with one of our platform leaders.

The GSC is ISO27001 certified for information security management.


SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

The 16 faculty members at the GSC have a diverse range of expertise in genomics,
bioinformatics, proteomics, epigenomics, immunogenetics, cancer biology,
computer science and software development. Together, we apply our knowledge to
advance the global understanding of cancer and other diseases with an ultimate
aim toward improving human health through disease prevention, the development of
novel diagnostic strategies and by uncovering new therapeutic approaches, all
the while helping the world to realize the social and economic benefits of
genome research.


CLINICAL PROGRAMS

The GSC is unique in that it fosters close collaborations between scientists and
clinicians, allowing for an unencumbered focus on direct translational research.
Through the Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) program, the GSC deploys whole
genome and transcriptome sequencing to inform therapeutic and management
strategies for late-stage cancer patients in real time. The GSC is also
certified by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and the Diagnostic
Accreditation Program (DAP) to perform clinical genomic panel testing.

TRANSCRIPTIONAL AND EPIGENETIC RESPONSE OF DIFFERENT CELL TYPES TO F. NUCLEATUM

Research on the role Fusobacterium nucleatum plays in cancer shows that the
transcriptome and epigenome of different host cell types are affected by the
pathogen in different ways.
