Regional Strengths
STAGE Quebec offers an exceptional training environment in genetic epidemiology and statistical genetics, supported by mentors with internationally recognized expertise. Quebec has a longstanding strength in population genetics, particularly in studies of founder effects unique to the province. Its university network provides comprehensive programs in quantitative life sciences, biostatistics, epidemiology, public health, machine learning and AI, bioinformatics, genomics, population genetics, and human genetics. Trainees also benefit from translational programs in clinical genetics, pharmacogenomics, precision medicine and genomic medicine. High-quality genetic and phenotypic data are available through Quebec-based cohorts such as CARTaGENE, the Montreal Heart Institute Biobank and numerous family cohorts, complemented by access to major national and international resources including CanPath, CLSA, UK Biobank, and All of Us. This strong interdisciplinary and collaborative environment makes Quebec an ideal place for students to train in genetic epidemiology and statistical genetics.
