Working with the best

The 2020/21 academic year was marked by significant accomplishments amid the challenge of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some projects from the past academic year in which our faculty members were involved.

Investing in the future of lab quality

Four months after the COVID-19 lock down occurred, the Rix Foundation provided the Department with a $1.5 million donation, that was matched by funds from the Provost, to create Professorship in Laboratory Quality. The first of its kind in Canada, the 10-year term professorship will enable UBC to continue improving the quality of laboratory services across Canada and internationally. UBC will recruit a world-class expert in laboratory quality research, education and training to succeed Dr. Michael Noble, professor emeritus in UBC’s department of pathology and laboratory medicine.

So we just wanted to say...

Thank you!
