The Ontario Health Study (OHS) is a long-term health study following the health of more than 230,000 Ontarians collecting data through questionnaires, blood samples and physical measurements. The goal is to build a platform that researchers can use now and decades into the future to better understand the causes of cancer and chronic disease.
The Canadian Data Integration Centre is a Canada’s Big Data platform offering analytical and bioinformatics support to genomic researchers by providing the software and analytic systems to collect and harmonize data, analyze it and electronically publish the results.
Our lab collaborates with the The OICR Genomics & Bioinformatics team, whose mission is to provide large-scale, next-generation sequencing (NGS) cancer genomics capabilities to researchers in Ontario and beyond.
