Biobanks

BioPortal is a unique research platform at the Jewish General Hospital (JGH)/Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research (LDI) built in partnership with the CERC Chair in Genomic Medicine at McGill University. Its goal is to leverage a bank of biomedical information from thousands of patients to incorporate precision medicine and genomics into clinical decision-making and deliver more effective, precise care to patients. BioPortal currently focuses on improving care for diabetes and will then rapidly expand to other common and rare diseases. It is actively recruiting in the following Jewish General Hospital (JGH) departments: Emergency Room, Endocrinology, and the Goldman Herzl Family Practice Centre.
