Every day, our researchers work towards breakthroughs to transform the lives of kids in BC and around the world. Learn about our latest innovations and advancements in child health.
Every child is different in terms of their risks for experiencing post-surgical pain. Researchers at BC Children’s Hospital are developing a tool to help accurately predict and communicate an individual child’s risk of experiencing a higher level of post-surgical pain. This tool will help make healing after surgery more comfortable for kids.
Congratulations to the following BCCHR investigators who were awarded NSERC funding.
In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, many research teams around the world focused on creating antibody tests to diagnose individuals who had SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Surprisingly, some researchers detected low levels of antibodies in many individuals who had never been exposed to the virus.
At BC Children’s, we are making discoveries that save lives and transform health care for children in our province and around the world. Our research portfolio includes basic, clinical, population, and public health research.
