UBC Medicine researchers are among the recipients of new funding to help address some of the world’s most pressing health challenges through interdisciplinary collaborations.
A total of 47 Research Excellence Clusters led by researchers at UBC Vancouver are being supported in 2025/26.
Research Excellence Clusters are interdisciplinary networks of researchers addressing societal and cultural problems, and working together to solve challenges that transcend traditional boundaries associated with departments, institutions and funding agencies.
