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
patients and families are participating in 195 clinical trials to help develop new treatments
We need you today for a better tomorrow. Our kids are counting on it.
Read moreKids can require surgery for a wide range of conditions, and fortunately, for the vast majority of them, there are very few bad outcomes or complications. This is great news for children – but it means it can take longer to collect enough data to understand what might be causing bad outcomes and how to avoid them. It’s only when we look at large sets of data that we can begin to tease out how we can improve care for children.

Read moreFor kids with immune disorders, identifying new biomarkers means that doctors are better able to determine the right treatment. In the case of kids who have undergone transplantation, biomarkers could help doctors catch the earliest signs of transplant rejection, greatly improving their chances of avoiding serious health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

But what’s been missing is an understanding of the molecular changes that are important at the single-cell level. This study gives us a ‘google street view’ to map out how these cell populations develop.”

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.
