Shifting  research priorities to combat COVID-19
                                    
  The  Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine faculty members are actively engaged on the front lines of COVID 19 responses – both in terms of clinical care and research.  We are grateful for our clinical faculty’s selfless commitment to serve their patients and the public.  We are equally grateful to our researchers – those who have curtailed their research in order to contain COVID 19 - and to those whose research will help both researchers and clinicians better understand the virus as well improve the clinical management of COVID-19 patients in BC’s health authorities
