Welcome to the IMGC Portal

The IMGC Web Portal enables members of the international milk and lactation research communities to collaborate and accelerate the understanding of the biological processes underlying mammalian milk genomics, the biological products that result from milk and lactation genes, and the health traits that these biological processes and products confer to both, the mother and the infant.

Message from the Executive Director

2012 is going to be a big year for the IMGC. This is a transformation year which will see the revitalization and refocusing of the IMGC to better deliver information, access and opportunities to you, our principal sponsors, and our scientific members. During 2012 we will be introducing new services, welcoming new members and attracting new sponsors. The IMGC aims to help improve the relevance, profile and demand for dairy products through the scientific substantiation of the important role dairy plays within the huge global economic health and nutrition market.

Already we have two exciting announcements to make. We are very happy to advise that Ross Products Division Abbott Laboratories is now an IMGC sponsor. We are also excited to announce that the arrangements are in place for Dr. Danielle Lemay to soon begin the publication of a regular milk research news circular. These are two major breakthroughs and indicators of the changes and improvements that will be introduced over the course of the year. Other initiatives on the agenda include the development of a marketing plan to attract new sponsors.

CDRF is hoping to engage the services of Tristonne Forbes of Azima Strategy and Commercialization to assist with the implementation of these initiatives that all form part of the broader strategic plan developed last year. Our approach will be to work with each of you to determine your key areas of interest and focus. This is a different approach than in previous years and is aimed at ensuring the implementation of the strategic plan as much as possible aligns with your needs as principal sponsors of the organization.

The IMGC looks forward to your ongoing financial support without which these initiatives and the success of this very important organization would not be possible.
