Structural Genomics Consortium reaches project milestone ahead of schedule 

2 March 2007, Toronto – The Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC), an international research effort set up in 2004 to determine the three-dimensional structures of proteins relevant to human disease, today posted its 375th protein structure in the public domain.  The SGC, which is the largest international research project ever directed from Canada, operates from laboratories at University of Toronto, University of Oxford, and Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.

Oxford, UK and Toronto, Canada, May 25, 2005 -The Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC; www.thesgc.com), an Anglo-Canadian charitable  consortium of public and private agencies, today announces it has delivered its first 50 human and malaria protein structures into the public domain on budget and 2 months ahead of schedule.  New data that this provides to research will expedite the development of new and improved medicines and provide tools for researchers to study important diseases.  

April 3, 2003 - Unravelling the structure of hundreds of human proteins will be the goal of an ambitious $95 million partnership that brings together British and Canadian health researchers under the direction of an internationally renowned Canadian scientist.
