McG COVID -19 Biobank

Â鶹Çø Clinical Genomics and COVID19 Biobank

The Â鶹Çø Clinical Genomics program (McG) aims to implement hospital-based genomic medicine building on robust research to improve clinical care. McG seeks to improve disease diagnosis and risk-stratification, the efficiency of test ordering and prediction of drug responses that will deliver benefits to person-centered patient care and value to the wider healthcare system and across the CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal/Center West Montreal.

How will the information collected be used?

The Â鶹Çø Clinical Genomics Biobank will undertake genetic studies and other health research studies. All of this data will be identified by a code and remain confidential. We intend to share this data with qualified researchers in academia and industry, after approval, to support studies that help to improve understanding of risk factors, causes of diseases, prediction of drug responses and improvement of clinical care in COVID-19 infection.

Biobanque Québec COVID-19 JGH Site Third Samples Release

Ìý

We are pleased to announce the availability of biological samples from the Jewish General Hospital site of the Biobanque Québec COVID19 (BQC19) for use by researchers at academic institutions, within industry and from all countries. The JGH site has collected PBMC samples from 1132 individuals at different time points (for a total of 1863 samples) and Plasma samples from 1646 individuals at different time points (for a total of 3157 samples) who were tested with SARS-CoV-2 nasal swabs at the JGH.

The JGH has elected to share these samples with researchers through the MI4 program, which will use an independent, external peer review committee to decide how to use these samples.

Please send your completed application to the following email address: bcq19imi4.med [at] mcgill.ca
