Galileo Genomics

Galileo Genomics is a private genetics company based in Montreal, using cutting-edge technology to conduct Quebec French ancestry research, identifying disease-causing genes to provide effective targets for creating innovative and more effective treatments and diagnostics. The Quebec founder population is one of the largest globally, aiding in rapid patient recruitment. Due to the relatively late population establishment in the 17th century, a smaller number of founders, rapid population growth, minimal intermarriage with other groups, some family member loss, and significant expansion of others, the population represents a homogeneous group with the highest genetic sharing among all major founder populations.
