CQDM relies on a collaborative approach and has developed a vast network of partners from the private and non-profit sectors. These collaborators contribute to CQDM’s mission by participating in the funding of translational research projects of common interest, by accelerating the establishment of multidisciplinary public-private collaborations and by contributing to the development of the Canadian life sciences ecosystem. Each of the collaborating organizations brings a unique and complementary expertise to that of CQDM, thus creating a synergistic effect and allowing to support the development of a greater number of promising cutting-edge technologies.
