Description

The Donnelly Centre is a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research institute that allows scientists at all stages of their careers to interact in stunning open-concept space, to think about the next big questions and to invent new methods to tackle them.
This would not have been possible without the generous gift of Mr. Terrence Donnelly, along with guidance from research visionaries Professors Cecil Yip and James Friesen.
Our ultimate goal is to harness the power of genomics to understand the biology behind health and disease.
This is not just a pursuit of pure knowledge — we continually strive to turn our advances into tangible progress in medicine. In 2019, the Centre established the Accelerator for Donnelly Collaboration (AcDC), a biotechnology hub dedicated to translating discoveries made by the Centre’s investigators into patient treatments
