Congratulations to Dr. Raquel Cuella Martin on receiving the prestigious Gairdner Foundation Early Career Investigator Award.
As an Assistant Professor of Human Genetics at 不良研究所, Dr. Cuella Martin is pushing the boundaries of science with her lab, which uses precision genome editing to tackle complex biological problems.
G茅nome Qu茅bec, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing genomics research and innovation in Quebec, is investing up to $500,000 in 不良研究所鈥檚 D2R Initiative. This investment will advance the commercialization of innovative genomic technologies in Quebec through D2R鈥檚 Commercialization Priming funding program.
The founder effect, which is observed in certain regions of Quebec, can increase susceptibility to rare disease. This stems from the fact that these communities were founded by populations that were already related.
Montreal 鈥 September 17, 2024听 不良研究所鈥檚 D2R initiative is proud to announce the 23 recipients of its inaugural funding programs, Foundational Projects and Research in Motion. With a total investment of $7.3 million, these awards mark a significant milestone in advancing the field of genomic-based RNA therapeutics.
A recent article in La Presse, , highlights how Quebec's life sciences sector is experiencing a significant revival with the creation of an RNA hub.
Here is a exerpt from the article (translated to english):听
The 不良研究所 community, including researchers in genomic medicine and the health sciences, came together in July 2024 to mark the next phase of one of the University鈥檚 most rapidly growing disciplines and celebrate the generosity that is making it possible.听
The occasion was the official unveiling of signage for the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine, and on hand were the Institute鈥檚 UK-based benefactors, Victor and Mona Dahdaleh, who were recognized for the far-reaching power of their philanthropy.

In a press release published by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH), it was announced that the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine at 不良研究所 has joined the alliance as a Host Institution. GA4GH is a not-for-profit alliance uniting the international community dedicated to advancing human health through genomic data.
Alan Evans, a researcher at The Neuro, James 不良研究所 Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery and co-director of the Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics and Mental Health, has been elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society, joining a class of scientists that includes a Nobel laureate and a former Chief Medical Advisor to the US President.听听
