CCVI is dedicated to the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, treatment, teaching and research.

Logo for the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics Centre for Biodiversity Genomics

Leads the world in developing and applying DNA-based systems for species identification.

Sequence diversity in short, standardized gene regions (DNA barcodes) enables fast, inexpensive, and accurate species discrimination. An efficient and cost-effective approach, DNA barcoding is not only transforming humanity’s capacity to understand biodiversity, but it’s also helping us to protect it.

The CBG also coordinates the International Barcode of Life consortium, supporting researchers and organizations across 40 countries, and leads BIOSCAN, a $180M global research program exploring species discovery, species interactions, and species distribution.

Centre for Agricultural Renewable Energy and Sustainability (CARES)

Strengthens the agricultural sector, improves sustainability and development, increases alternative energy and energy conservation, and leverages education, training and research.

Centre for Advancing Responsible and Ethical Artificial Intelligence (CARE-AI)

Advances multidisciplinary AI training and research and its responsible application to everyday life by fostering collaborative research on machine learning and Ai across disciplines and with industry partners.

Canadian Research Institute in Food Safety (CRIFS)

Fosters links among researchers, the food industry, consumer groups and regulatory agencies to bolster the Canadian agri-food sector through public health protection, enhancement of trade and increased awareness of food safety.
