Three projects led by BC Cancer researchers and focused on advancing cancer care have been funded through the inaugural UBC AI and Health Network Fellows Program, which supports researchers harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to transform health research and improve patient care across BC.
Dr. Kim Chi, medical oncologist and clinician-scientist with BC Cancer, has been named a highly cited researcher in 2025 by Clarivate, a global organization that analyzes academic publications, citations and research impact.
“This recognition reflects my career-long commitment to improving care for people with prostate cancer,” says Dr. Kim Chi, medical oncologist, BC Cancer. “Our research has always been driven by the needs of patients, and this honour highlights the collective efforts of our collaborators, co-investigators and dedicated staff who make this work possible.”

A new study from BC Cancer researchers explores how to better support oncology nurses in engaging patients and families in advance care planning (ACP).
Dr. Christian Steidl, senior scientist and Executive Director, Research at BC Cancer, is the recipient of a 2025 Operating Grant in Blood Cancer, co-funded by AstraZeneca Canada and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
The research is dedicated to developing innovative tools for precise and efficient gene editing in B-cell lymphomas. By targeting the underlying genetic causes of cancer, this work paves the way for novel treatment strategies and opens new possibilities for patients living with B-cell lymphoma.
BC Cancer senior scientist, Dr. Alexander Wyatt, has been appointed the UBC President’s Excellence Chair in Precision Oncology by the UBC Faculty of Medicine.
BC Cancer Foundation is the fundraising partner of BC Cancer, which includes BC Cancer Research. Together with our donors, we are changing cancer outcomes for British Columbians by funding innovative research and personalized treatment and care.
