CHÉOS to collaborate with global genomics organization

CHÉOS is collaborating with the world’s largest genomics organization, Beijing Genomics International (BGI), to research the health economics of personalized medicine.

The collaboration with BGI is part of a larger global partnership to bring together advanced technologies and individualized therapy for cancer and other diseases. Five health and research organizations, including Providence Health Care, will work together on applying next generation sequencing technologies and big data to accelerate personalized medicine and improve outcomes for patients.

The partnership was recognized on October 19, when a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by the parties at a ceremony at the Vancouver Board of Trade.

New research series: The Evidence Speaks

We’re proud to introduce our new series, The Evidence Speaks, a recurring feature highlighting the latest in CHÉOS research. This series will feature summaries of select publications as well as in-depth features on the latest work from our investigators.


Working together to improve patient engagement

On September 28, over 40 health leaders, researchers, faculty members, and people with lived experience gathered for a one-day symposium to discuss initiatives and best practices for patient engagement in health research.

Attendees heard about initiatives and projects from across British Columbia where patients have influential roles in health research decision-making.

Read more and view some images from the event on our website.
