Built By Researchers for Research

SecureData4Health

As a global scientific community, our ability to interpret and utilize the rapidly expanding genomic and health data is still at a nascent stage. To fully realize the benefits of this valuable information, we need computational frameworks, policies, and infrastructure to securely store, share and interpret it using Al and other advanced analysis tools.

A Powerful Infrastructure For The Research Community

SD4Health is a secure cloud infrastructure for analysis and sharing of genomic and health data based on the creation of a new compute node in Québec and the enhancement of HPC4Health already existing in Ontario. Together, these will form the core of a unique inter-provincial digital platform that will eventually be expanded nationally. This will allow Canada to establish its position as a world leader in the analysis and management of genomic and health data.

Projects

The SD4Health team is actively involved in a range of large-scale projects, providing comprehensive support from initial development to final deployment. Our expertise spans software solutions, including APIs and web applications, as well as facilitating the organization, discovery, and visualization of data for both large and small-scale initiatives. Below is a list of our current projects.

BQC19

BQC19 offers researchers essential biological materials and data to identify vulnerable populations, inform policies, and prepare for future pandemics.

CQDG Portal

The CQDG Portal offers researchers access to genomic data from the Quebec Genomic Data Center for exploration, analysis, and cloud-based analytics.

TFRI Marathon Of Hope QC

MOH-Q, a Quebec cancer research initiative, aims to accelerate precision medicine through genomic profiling, clinical trials, and patient involvement.

EpiShare

EpiShare aims to make epigenomic data more accessible globally. Working with IHEC and ENCODE, it’s adapting GA4GH tools to simplify data access, sharing, and analysis.

Pan-Canadian Genome Libray

PCGL, a Canadian initiative, unifies genome sequencing efforts using domestic components, international standards, and a federated data management system that respects jurisdictional data movement limits.
