researchers are leading scientific discoveries for a healthier future for all kids in BC and beyond
of our researchers are health care professionals providing care for kids at BC Children’s Hospital
clinical trials are underway to develop new treatments and transform care
We need you today for a better tomorrow. Our kids are counting on it.
BC Children’s Hospital investigator Dr. Kyla Hildebrand not only conducts research in the area of allergy and clinical immunology, but this clinical assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia is also well known for her leadership in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education.

Read moreOur methods act like a filtration system to better separate true results from background noise. Similar to how water out of the tap is fine to drink, but tastes better when filtered — these tools provide a second layer of analysis to purify the data and highlight the findings that are actually relevant and significant.

Read moreIf you have concerns about your child's behaviour, get it looked at as early as possible. A lot of times it’s just normal "terrible twos" or a brief phase in the child's development, and with some very simple parenting tips things will be fine. But sometimes it's not and it's so much easier to address these issues when the kids are preschool age, before they get involved in school and peer networks.

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.
