WHAT IS GENOMICS?

What is Genomics? Every living organism has DNA – a code that directs its biological functions and influences how it grows and interacts with the environment. Genomics is the science of understanding, interpreting and harnessing this DNA code to create real-world solutions. Recent advances in our ability to quickly and inexpensively sequence STAFF - ONTARIO GENOMICS Ontario Genomics is made up of a dynamic and highly experienced team. Our staff brings deep expertise across the life sciences sector, with backgrounds in public and private sector research spanning academic settings, upstart biotechnology companies and major pharmaceutical corporations, finance and commercialization, bioethics, education and

communications.

TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS Ontario Genomics facilitates access to genomics technologies to support the genomics research community. Ontario Genomics has historically funded several primary genomics and proteomics platform technology services utilizing Genome Canada funds, service revenues, the Ontario government (MRI-ORF, ORDCF, OIT, etc.) and other funders

such as CFI.

THE FUTURE OF BIOMANUFACTURING SERIES Ontario Genomics is excited to partner with TheFutureEconomy.ca for an interview series on ‘The Future of Biomanufacturing’. In this six-part series experts explore the development and application of biomanufacturing and bioengineering to advance Canada’s knowledge-based economy in the areas of low-carbon manufacturing, food security and advanced engineering health technologies.

ENGINEERING BIOLOGY

Solid engineering biology groundwork has been established elsewhere. Leading G20 jurisdictions, including the US2, UK3, Australia4 and China5, as well as Singapore6, have already invested significantly to prioritize engineering biology and the bioeconomy. GENOMIC APPLICATIONS PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (GAPP) The Genomic Applications Partnership Program (GAPP) funds translational research and development projects that address real-world challenges and opportunities as identified by industry, government, not-for-profits, and other “receptors” of genomics knowledge and technology. Launched on June 03, 2013, Genome Canada’s GAPP program aims to fund projects that have a clear and defined COMPANIES - ONTARIO GENOMICS Companies. Since its inception in 2000, Ontario Genomics has supported the commercialization of genomics technologies and products through early-stage funding, co-funding, or creation of these companies: Xagenic Canada Inc. The following companies were supported by Genome Canada’s Genomics Application Partnership Program (GAPP) in

SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY

Synthetic biology is an emerging branch of genomics encompassing tools and methodologies to write DNA (instead of the traditional branch which encompasses tools and methodologies to read or sequence DNA). Synthetic biology tools allow for the building of simple organisms or “biological apps” to make manufacturing more green, energy production more sustainable, agriculture more robust ONTARIO'S STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY Ontario’s agriculture and agri-food sector is large and highly diverse. At $37.6B 1, it accounts for approximately one third of the total GDP generated by the sector in Canada.. One in every eight jobs in Ontario currently comes from the agriculture and agri-food sector which includes input and service suppliers, primary agricultural producers, industrial bioproducts manufacturers THE PRESENT AND FUTURE STATE OF SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY IN Synthetic biology: biotech, the next generation Synthetic biology, in the broadest sense, creatively combines biology and engineering to produce innovations across multiple sectors. This multidisciplinary field of science and technology promises to unlock new solutions to some of the world’s most vexing problems, from food security to climate change to cancer treatment. BETTINA HAMELIN JOINS ONTARIO GENOMICS AS NEW PRESIDENT On August 1st Ontario Genomics welcomed Bettina Hamelin as its new President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Dr. Hamelin joins Ontario Genomics with over 25 years of leadership experience in academia, the biotech and international pharmaceutical industry and the public sector bringing extensive expertise as a biotechnology strategist and a champion of science and innovation.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES Opportunities and Challenges. A key driver towards personalized medicine is the dramatic increase in our ability to sequence DNA. It will soon be possible to sequence a patient’s entire genome at a cost and speed commensurate with other diagnostic tests. A typical diagnostic test offers insight into a single aspect of a single
