Researchers with the Immunity in Health & Disease Group are focused on improving our understanding of healthy immune responses and how the immune system contributes to immune-mediated diseases in children.
We need you today for a better tomorrow. Our kids are counting on it.
Researchers at BC Children’s Hospital (BCCH) and the University of British Columbia have found a new sub-type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can be treated with existing drugs that target the body’s inflammatory response. This discovery may help children who have been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease but aren’t responding to current treatments.
We believe there’s nothing we can’t do with your support. It can take years to turn scientific breakthrough into new interventions and treatments. Funding helps speed the pace of change. When given the resources, we can bring transformative therapies – and hope – out of the laboratory and into the clinic to save and improve children’s lives.
