OVERVIEW The majority of PHCRI researchers have appointments at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Simon Fraser University (SFU), two of the largest academic institutions in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Our researchers and programs actively explore areas of research to improve the health of the patients and residents cared for at our site and across the province of British Columbia. At PHCRI, our expertise includes laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological research in the fields of HIV/AIDS, heart disease, renal disease, addictions, gastro-intestinal diseases, psychiatry, geriatrics and much more. We believe this research not only makes for a robust learning environment, but also leads to better patient care. The integration of research, education and care is what makes the PHCRI mission possible.
