Montr\u00e9al, June 11, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 G\u00e9nome Qu\u00e9bec and the Fonds de recherche du Qu\u00e9bec \u2013 secteur nature et technologies (FRQ), are particularly excited to announce the 15 research projects that have won major funding throught the third round of the Genomics Integration Program \u2013 Agriculture and Biofood, Forestry and Environment<\/em>. The total investment, including public and private partners, represents nearly $3.6 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research projects were selected as part of the funding cycle launched at the end of last summer and will use genomics to help industry and public organizations address issues in biodiversity, animal health, water quality and ecosystem health, as well as the detection of pathogens, pests and invasive species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe projects supported as part of this third cycle of the Genomics Integration Program<\/em> will enable researchers to work in close collaboration with various stakeholders to develop innovative and sustainable genomics-based solutions to crucial issues in agriculture, bio-food and environmental fields. Congratulations to the recipients\u201d, says St\u00e9phanie Lord-Fontaine<\/strong>, Vice-President, Scientific Affairs at G\u00e9nome Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would like to warmly congratulate the winning teams, whose cutting-edge research on a variety of themes will ensure a better understanding of issues relating to biodiversity, ecosystem health and animal health, in particular. I’m very proud of the partnership and of the Genomics Integration Program \u2013 Agriculture and Biofood, Forestry and Environment<\/em>, which aims to preserve the global health of our planet,\u201d says Janice Bailey<\/strong>, Scientific Director of the Fonds de recherche du Qu\u00e9bec \u2013 secteur Nature et technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to the recipients<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
