The UBC-BC Cancer Academic Enhancement Fund Competition 2025 supports research projects that either:
The seed2STEM Summer Research Program for Indigenous Youth increases Indigenous representation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by offering paid, six-week research studentships for Indigenous high school and university students across BC.
Across nearly all BC Cancer regional centres, the library offers a welcoming, supportive environment where patients, families and members of the public from across BC and Yukon can ask questions, explore resources at their own pace, and receive guidance from knowledgeable staff – helping them feel more informed, empowered and confident throughout their care journeys.
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.”
