Gut4Health Microbiome Core Facility

The primary goal of Gut4Health is to facilitate microbiome studies for researchers at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute and the University of British Columbia. The facility is a centralized and cost-effective resource for processing and storing biological specimens, and sequencing and analysis of microbial communities for various research studies, including basic science, clinical, translational, and epidemiological projects.

The Gut4Health program was made possible thanks to Mining for Miracles, the BC mining community’s longstanding fundraising campaign in support of the BC Children’s Hospital.
