The Canadian Gene Cure Foundation

The CGCF supports excellence in human genetics research. The goal is to raise funds to enable scientists to discover cures and treatments for genetic disorders.

The Canadian Gene Cure Foundation (CGCF) is a registered Canadian charitable organization.

It was formed in 1999 by a group of visionaries and members of the Canadian Genetic Diseases Network (CGDN) who strongly believe more funding is needed for medical genetics research in Canada.

The Network, has an impressive array of accomplishments. Network investigators discovered more than 50 medically significant genes, created new state-of-the-art research facilities, and spawned more than a dozen biotechnology companies.

Yet the true legacy of the CGDN is something less measurable but more profound: the change in the culture of genetics and genomics science that has taken hold across Canada.
