We have four research themes: Childhood Diseases, Brain, Behaviour & Development, Healthy Starts and Evidence to Innovation. Themes are further broken down into 12 specialized research groups that have evolved in response to changing funding opportunities, scientific developments and investigator expertise.
BCCHR laboratories hosting Indigenous students for seed2STEM program
For the first time, BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) is participating as one of the host institutes in the seed2STEM program — a research summer program that aims to increase participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among Indigenous youth. For six weeks, high school students participated in a career placement where they conducted scientific research, engaged in weekly research-focused group activities, learned from Indigenous and professional guest speakers, and went on field trips to scientific and cultural sites with BCCHR's research teams.
