This Week’s Biotech Highlights

Much to be thankful for this week in the world of biotech:

• Québec companies can be thankful for the province’s new $122 million biopharmaceutical strategy that includes $30 million for genomics and a smattering of tax initiatives;
• Mimetogen can be thankful for its latest round of funding, and McGill University and the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research can be thankful for a spin-out that’s successful so far; and
• In Toronto, we can be thankful for a fantastic round of conferences coming up: the OGI/IDT Synthetic Biology Conference, the 50th Anniversary Celebrations for the Gairdner Awards, and the Canadian Science Policy Conference.
