Genome Alberta recently scored big with funding from Genome Canada.

According to President and CEO Dr. David Bailey, his group worked hard to secure $35 million dollars in federal funding to support four major projects.

These research projects deal with a broad range of topics focused on DNA, microbes and biological systems.

And as Dr. David Bailey explains, the success of these projects depends on additional support from other partners.

DR. DAVID BAILEY:<\/span>  All of those dollars have to be matched at least 1 to 1, if not 2 to 1, by Alberta and other partners, So the Alberta government through EDT or groups such as Alberta Innovates or Alberta Prion Research Institute, very actively involved in helping put together these proposals.  Companies are always at the table with us on these.  We need the end user to be present, and they are there to say this is how they can apply that solution in a timely manner. <\/span>

Dr. David Bailey says the funding supports research on microbial life in the arctic ocean, pipeline corrosion, chronic wasting disease, and the resilience of our forests in the face of climate change.

Alberta Innovates<\/span> is a provincially funded Corporation with a mandate to deliver 21st century solutions for the most compelling challenges facing Albertans. We do this by building on our province’s research and technology development strengths in the core sectors of health, environment, energy, food and fibre and platforms such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and omics. We are working with our partners to diversify Alberta’s economy, improve our environmental performance and enhance our well-being through research and innovation. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The Alberta Innovates system has roots stretching back almost 90 years \t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In March, 2016 the consolidation of Alberta Innovates was announced and on November 1, a single, integrated innovation powerhouse, Alberta Innovates, was formed. Two applied research subsidiaries – Innotech Alberta and C-Fer Technologies –  serve public and private sector interests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Alberta Innovates system was first created in January 2010, as part of an overall innovation framework developed within the Alberta Research and Innovation Act. At that time, four corporations were established:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Bio Solutions<\/li>\n
  • Energy and Environment Solutions<\/li>\n
  • Health Solutions<\/li>\n
  • Technology Futures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Alberta Innovates system has a 90-year legacy. Our expertise is built on the successes of:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Alberta Institute for Agriculture<\/li>\n
    • Forestry and the Environment<\/li>\n
    • Alberta Agricultural Research Institute<\/li>\n
