What is GBA1 Canada Initiative?

G-CAN VISION AND MISSION

G-Can, funded by a generous gift from The Hilary and Galen Weston Foundation and other funders, is a pre-competitive, open science initiative, aiming to advance GBA1 research and treatment for neurodegeneration. We intend to generate models (human cell lines, organoids and animals), research tools (assays, antibodies etc.) data (clinical, imaging, genetic, transcriptomic etc.) and additional resources, all focused on GBA1, to share with the scientific community and industry. In addition, this platform will support specific research projects, including basic, translational, and clinical research.
