GOVERNANCE

Can-DESyNe will operate distinctly from Genome Canada by administration through a newly created SynBio Centre of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE). The CIE, National Engineering Biology Steering Committee, Genome Canada Enterprise and key Partners will define the governance necessary for transparent and fair decision-making for project selection and IP ownership.
