Canadian Epigenetics, Environment and Health Research Consortium

The Canadian Epigenetics, Environment and Health Research Consortium (CEEHRC) supports leading edge research on the role of DNA and environment interactions in human health and disease. This initiative will ensure that Canada plays a leadership role in the field of epigenetics by putting research discoveries into practice.

CEEHRC is co-led by the CIHR Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction, the Institute of Genetics and the Institute of Cancer Research, in partnership with most of the other CIHR Institutes. External partners include Genome BC, Genome Quebec, and NeuroDevNet, among others. CEEHRC is currently identifying and developing collaborations with funding organizations and stakeholders to enhance health research in this area.
