The Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization focused on developing earlier diagnostics and smarter treatments. Translational genomics research is a relatively new field employing innovative advances arising from the Human Genome Project and applying them to the development of diagnostics, prognostics and therapies for cancer, neurological disorders, diabetes and other complex diseases. For the first time in history, we now have the knowledge to unravel the genetic components of common and complex diseases. The increased understanding of molecular medicine is shifting clinical practice from treatment based on symptoms to treatment based on the underlying causes of disease. Physicians will be prescribing drugs that are designed more intelligently, work more effectively, and have fewer toxic side effects. The mapping of the human genome was only the first step. Researchers are now working to translate variations in human genes to discover the underlying cause of disease progression and resistance to therapy and why some individuals encounter debilitating diseases and others live healthy lives. Although all the puzzle pieces of our genetic make-up have been identified, scientists and clinicians now have the formidable task of interpreting how they fit together in order to apply the genome map to patient care. TGen is on the cutting edge of translational research where investigators are able to unravel the genetic components of common and complex diseases. Working with collaborators in the scientific and medical communities, TGen believes it can make a substantial contribution to the efficiency and effectiveness of the translational process. TGen''s vision is of a world where an understanding of genomic variation can be rapidly translated to the diagnosis and treatment of disease in a manner tailored to individual patients. TGen is dedicated to the next revolution in health care. With the patient at its helm, TGen is guided by three core principles: integrate, translate and accelerate.

Launched in October 2007, TFRI is the brainchild of the Terry Fox Foundation. TFRI involves collaboration between cancer hospitals and research organizations across Canada, and will occur initially in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. TFRI will support translational cancer research projects with the potential to significantly improve the health of cancer patients. TFRI is organized into functionally integrated yet geographically dispersed nodes. Regional cancer hospitals and research organizations participate in each node by providing space for researchers and by arranging for the participation of cancer patients in research projects. At each node, two node co-ordinators provide leadership, and bring together local scientific and clinical research teams to propose and manage specific projects. The TFRI headquarters team liaises with the TFRI nodes and provides direction, co-ordination and facilitates communication across the entire organization. The Terry Fox Foundation has committed a minimum of $50 million (CAN) over five years from donations obtained during the 25th anniversary of the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope and from new funds anticipated and those raised since 2005. Other partners sharing the same vision are being sought who will be asked to commit additional resources to support the ongoing work of the TFRI.
