A new initiative in northern B.C. aims to address inequities in health research infrastructure by developing community-driven solutions that integrate Indigenous knowledge and support sustainable, equitable outcomes.

Dr. Sarah Gray, a professor in UBC’s Northern Medical Program at UNBC, is advancing biomedical research and training opportunities to address the health needs of rural, northern and Indigenous communities.

The Northern Centre for Clinical Research is creating more opportunities for biomedical research and clinical trials—in a uniquely northern context.

New federal funding will support students and faculty at UNBC in transforming their research-based innovations into real-world solutions.

This Black Excellence Day, UNBC is celebrating the meaningful connections fostered through a mentorship program aimed at uplifting Black voices within the University community. We honour the collective efforts that made it possible to reaffirm our commitment to equity, care and the creation of spaces where Black excellence is recognized, celebrated and sustained.

An enhanced collaboration with Rio Tinto will build on an initial research program started in 2019 and support two UNBC researchers in efforts to deepen understanding of the impacts of climate change and human activity on water security and freshwater fish ecology in the Nechako Watershed.

In 2024, UNBC celebrated milestones in sustainability, research innovation and academic achievement, fostering curiosity and empowering northern communities through local solutions to global challenges.
