• Integrating Genomics into Healthcare
• Ethics and Policy in Genomics
• Evaluation and Health Technology Assessment in Genomics

CIHR-IG, SickKids, and Genome Canada hosted a Social Mixer event for Canadian genetics experts attending the ASHG conference in Denver, Colorado.

The event provided an opportunity for Canadians and colleagues to engage in discussions on genetics, reconnect with peers, and establish new collaborative relationships.

The CIHR Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA) and the CIHR Institute of Genetics (IG) hosted the Patient Engagement in Research 101 Workshop to support trainees in developing best practices for patient engagement in health research.

The forum was hosted by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Institute of Genetics (CIHR-IG) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Institute of Indigenous Peoples' Health (CIHR-IIPH), in partnership with Genome Canada.

The goal of the forum was to share and build upon the knowledge of good policy and practices within the field of genomics and biobanking with Indigenous populations.
