The Alberta Centre for Advanced Diagnostics (ACAD) is a new initiative dedicated to fast-tracking health technology implementation at the University of Calgary. ACAD builds on the previous successes of the Alberta Precision Exchange (APEX) and the Alberta Diagnostic Ecosystem Platform for Translation (ADEPT) and is funded by PrairiesCan, Genome Canada, DynaLIFE Medical Labs, Alberta Innovates, the University of Calgary, and the Canada Foundation for Innovation, with support from Thermo Fisher Scientific. ACAD will provide academic and industry diagnostic innovators with the resources needed to prototype, test, and evaluate new testing tools and bring them to market.
