Congratulations to the BC Children’s and BC Women’s investigators who were awarded funding through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Project Grant Spring 2020 competition. Our research community received over $4 million in new research grants.
A new study by researchers at the University of British Columbia, BC Children’s Hospital and the University of Manitoba has found that bacteria are shared and possibly transferred from a mother’s milk to her infant’s gut, and that breastfeeding directly at the breast best supports this process.
Every day, our researchers are working towards breakthroughs to transform the lives of kids in British Columbia and around the world. Learn about the latest innovations and advancements in child health.
