Canadian Bioinformatics Hub | Hub Canadien de Bio-informatique

The Canadian Bioinformatics Hub (CBH) is Canada’s platform for Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Data Science skills and community development. Our mission is to become a global leader in transformative skill development ecosystems in bioinformatics, championing inclusive training, nurturing supportive professional networks, and advocating for essential resources to uplift bioinformatics communities across Canada. The platform is built on the two foundational pillars of Training and Community, both governed by an overarching Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) Framework. Training and community resources are regionally distributed by six centers across the country, supporting capacity growth in talent according to local needs. Together, we are accelerating the growth of a vibrant health and life sciences sector in Canada by scaling up Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Data Science capacity. Expansion of bioinformatics.ca into CBH is supported by a 2024 Health Research Training Platform (HRTP) Grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Genome Canada
