UBC's Annual Address:
Powering Bio-Innovation in British Columbia

We are entering a golden age of biomedical discovery, where new classes of therapeutics—such as mRNA, gene, and cell therapies—are expected to transform human health and drive economic growth over the next century. With world-class biomedical researchers and a vibrant life sciences ecosystem, B.C. has a tremendous opportunity to lead this global transformation and shape a more healthy, sustainable and innovative future for British Columbia.
