researchers are leading scientific discoveries for a healthier future for all kids in B.C. and beyond
of our researchers are health-care professionals providing care for kids at BC Children’s Hospital
clinical studies are underway to develop new treatments and transform care
We need you today for a better tomorrow. Our kids are counting on it.
Read more"Living near green spaces may support better childhood development by reducing stress, encouraging physical activity and exploration, facilitating social contact, and reducing harmful environmental stressors such as excessive heat, noise, and air pollution."
Tim Oberlander
Read more"I find it really exciting when we can bring family-centered patient care, research, education and advocacy together to improve child health. And all of the components we need for that are right here."
Steven P. Miller
Read more"This treatment is affordable, very safe and highly effective, particularly if we can get the treatment going before the infant is 12 months old."
Edmond S. Chan
Read more"These results suggest that infants born during the pandemic may be more susceptible to RSV at an older age because their early months occurred during historically low levels of RSV."
Pascal Lavoie
Read more"Children are, of course, different from adults, and their immune systems are different from an adult's immune system. Our study is important because we are also including children aged five to 11 who have only recently become eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine and have not been included in the studies published so far."

Read more"Treatment should be trauma-informed, strengths-based and patient-centred interventions that provide hope and facilitate people in living their best lives."
Tonia Nicholls
Read more"It’s important because we’re not necessarily treating everyone appropriately for pain. Some people might be undertreated for pain and other patients might have adverse effects, so they might be harmed in the pain medication journey."
Catrina Loucks
Read more"I would like to see Calmer functionality embedded into incubators around the world. I would also like to have single, free-standing units available for any infants worldwide who might need them."

Read more"Knowing yourself is really important in establishing a sustainable balance for yourself. You've got to love what you do. Your career is not just a job. It's a hobby, it's a passion, and if you don't get joy out of what you do, you're in the wrong field."

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.
