Research by Division
The research in the department spans clinical, population health and basic science research (including PhD and MSc programs with the UBC Reproduction and Developmental Sciences Graduate Program). Below we have presented research areas in the divisions in which they tend to cluster; however there are cross-divisional interests and collaborations.
Please note that the following provide a general overview of research areas across the department including distributed sites throughout the province. It is not an exhaustive list; click here (http://www.obgyn.ubc.ca/Divisions/) for more information about the Divisions.
