October 2025
Join us on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 5:30 PM at the UQAM campus for our next MonBUG meetup to hear David Bujold, Head of the Data Unit at the Canadian Centre for Computational Genomics (C3G), present his talk, “The Pan-Canadian Genome Library: Harnessing GA4GH Standards for Secure, FAIR, and Federated Genomics”.
This talk introduces the Pan-Canadian Genome Library (PCGL), a national effort to improve how genomic research data is managed, archived, and shared across Canada. We will cover how PCGL uses standards from the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH), including Beacon and the Data Use Ontology, to make data easier to find, access, and use responsibly. The presentation will outline how, by building on these global standards, PCGL can help researchers work together more effectively, supporting both research and clinical applications.
📍 UQAM – PK4610, 201 Av. du Président-Kennedy, Montréal, QC H2X 2J5
We look forward to seeing you all there!
