There are a multitude of benefits that Canadians will experience from genetic research.
Gene research is critical for scientists and doctors to cultivate a greater understanding for how genes contribute to human disease. It is this understanding or knowledge that provides the foundation on which new treatments (e.g. drugs and vaccines) or cures can be developed. And, these new treatments will have a positive impact on the well-being and lifestyle of all Canadians.
