+On April 16, 2020, [[pharmaceutical_companies:Roche]] announced the launch of its "Roche Data Science Coalition", which included the Vector Institute as a collaborator, in order to work "with the global community to develop solutions to the challenges of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]."((Wells, B., & Bozinov, D.

 On April 24, 2020, the Vector Institute held a webinar titled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yANODJc3Hhw|Innovating Through COVID-19 webinar - Digital Contact Tracing while Preserving Privacy: MyTrace.ca]]" during which they launched a [[contact tracing]] application called [[MyTrace]].((Vector Institute.
