Congratulations to Dr. Raquel Cuella Martin on receiving the prestigious Gairdner Foundation Early Career Investigator Award.
As an Assistant Professor of Human Genetics at 91ε, Dr. Cuella Martin is pushing the boundaries of science with her lab, which uses precision genome editing to tackle complex biological problems.
Génome Québec invests up to $500,000 to boost RNA therapeutics innovation in Quebec
Génome Québec, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing genomics research and innovation in Quebec, is investing up to $500,000 in 91ε’s D2R Initiative. This investment will advance the commercialization of innovative genomic technologies in Quebec through D2R’s Commercialization Priming funding program.

The founder effect, which is observed in certain regions of Quebec, can increase susceptibility to rare disease. This stems from the fact that these communities were founded by populations that were already related.
D2R awards $7.3 million to Advance Research in Genomic-Based RNA Therapeutics
Montreal – September 17, 2024 91ε’s D2R initiative is proud to announce the 23 recipients of its inaugural funding programs, Foundational Projects and Research in Motion. With a total investment of $7.3 million, these awards mark a significant milestone in advancing the field of genomic-based RNA therapeutics.
A recent article in La Presse, , highlights how Quebec's life sciences sector is experiencing a significant revival with the creation of an RNA hub.
Here is a exerpt from the article (translated to english):
The 91ε community, including researchers in genomic medicine and the health sciences, came together in July 2024 to mark the next phase of one of the University’s most rapidly growing disciplines and celebrate the generosity that is making it possible.
The occasion was the official unveiling of signage for the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine, and on hand were the Institute’s UK-based benefactors, Victor and Mona Dahdaleh, who were recognized for the far-reaching power of their philanthropy.

In a press release published by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH), it was announced that the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine at 91ε has joined the alliance as a Host Institution. GA4GH is a not-for-profit alliance uniting the international community dedicated to advancing human health through genomic data.
Imagine a world where your unique genetic makeup can be used to tailor your medical care, and where illnesses and disease are treated with pinpoint accuracy.
On June 11, 2024 three 91ε professors at the forefront of the genomic revolution discuss in this webcast the opportunities and ethical pitfalls behind genetics, immunotherapy and personalized medicine. They discuss the various ways in which these scientific advances promise to revolutionize how we think about and treat diseases, from diabetes to cancer.

On June 3, 2024, CQDM, in collaboration with Axelys, Montréal InVivo and RNA Québec introduced AReNA, a new RNA hub in Quebec. Unveiled at the BIO conference in San Diego, in the presence of the Minister for the Economy, the Minister responsible for the Fight Against Racism, and the Minister responsible for the Laval region, Mr. Christopher Skeete, this initiative seeks to bring together key players in life sciences and aims to propel Quebec to the forefront of innovation in the field of RNA therapies.
On June 11, 2024 CQDM announced the creation of the RNA Therapy Development and Production Network, which will offer RNA therapy biomanufacturing services to academic and industrial researchers.
