About Genome Prairie
Who We Are and What We Do
Genome Prairie is a regional genomics centre serving Manitoba and Saskatchewan and is one of six centres within
Canada’s national genomics enterprise under the leadership of Genome Canada.
Genome Prairie does not operate laboratories or conduct research directly. Instead, our value lies in our ability to
convene, connect and enable. We bring together researchers, Indigenous communities, governments, industry
partners and funders to transform promising ideas into high-impact, real-world solutions.
From early-stage proposal development to project delivery, financial oversight and knowledge translation,
Genome Prairie supports complex initiatives that align regional strengths with national missions.
Over the past 26 years, Genome Prairie’s collaborative delivery model has generated significant impact, including
more than $448 million in genomics investment across the Prairies, the creation of thousands of jobs and
substantial contributions to Canada’s innovation economy. These achievements provide a solid foundation for the
next phase of growth and leadership.
