Translational Therapeutics

We are committed to studying and evaluating drug therapies with the goal of improving human health and quality of life, specifically in the areas of drug effectiveness, drug safety and drug policy. We pursue these goals through:

Population Therapeutics and Pharmacoepidemiology – where we focus on medication use and healthcare outcomes using large scale population based data sets to foster pharmaceutical policy innovation through proactive policy, research and knowledge translation concerning the effectiveness, safety and cost management of prescription drugs.

Advanced Methodologies to Discover Effectiveness – Randomized controlled trials, retrospective studies and combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to discover effectiveness of treatments, mostly in acute care paediatrics.

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and Pharmacogenomics – using state of the art genotyping and sequencing platforms we identify the genetic determinants of ADRs in paediatric and adult populations. Through our active surveillance approach we are able to collect cases and controls to conduct genetic association and validation studies to define ADR causal genes and to develop diagnostic tests to offer personalized therapeutic recommendations for commonly used drugs.

Dr. Bruce Carleton is the Director of the Pharmaceutical Outcomes Programme (POPi), Director of the PHSA Therapeutic Evaluation Unit, and CEO of the Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety (CPNDS). He currently leads numerous multi-disciplinary projects relating to drug safety and drug effectiveness. Details regarding these projects can be found here.

Dr. Ran Goldman is the director of Paediatric Research in Emergency Therapeutics (PRETx), which offers an extensive online database of therapeutics research in paediatric acute care. Details regarding PRETx can be found here.

Dr. Mahyar Etminan is a drug safety researcher. He uses large administrative databases and epidemiologic methodologies to quantify rare adverse drug events. Currently, Dr. Etminan is leading a project examining the cardiovascular outcomes of Avastin and Lucentis, two drug therapies used for the treatment of macular degeneration.

Dr. Colin Ross is working to develop safer and more effective medications. A key area of Dr. Ross’s research is focused on the identification of genetic factors that are responsible for individual differences in susceptibility to severe adverse drug reactions in children. Dr. Ross directs a research laboratory with capacity for genomic analyses, including genome sequencing, and functional studies of the effects of genetic variation on drug response.

Do you want to make a difference in paediatrics? If being part of a multi-disciplinary team that pursues excellence in research, and strives to bridge into clinical practice and educational endeavours through innovative strategies, the division of translation therapeutics is the place you want to be.

The Division of Translational Therapeutics is always seeking excellent Graduate Students (M.Sc. & Ph.D.), Post Doctoral Fellows, Clinical Residents and Fellows who are interested in the areas of population therapeutics, pharmacoepidemiology, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and pharmacogenomics. Training opportunities can be tailored according to needs – ranging from full-time to part-time activities over the course of time required for the research project in question. Trainees are encouraged to contact us with an area of interest or pre-determined projects to pursue with the input and guidance of the division members. All research projects will include participation in grant and protocol development, ethics application submission, publication of manuscripts, presentation of findings, and knowledge translation planning.

As one of the leading research centers in Canada, trainees will be exposed to both the innovative research at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute and the strong academic environment of the University of British Columbia. In these stimulating and complementary surroundings, trainees will have many opportunities for advancement and interdisciplinary professional development.

Applicants with a background in pharmacogenomics, clinical pharmacology, medical genetics, experimental medicine, paediatrics, pharmacoepidemiology, biostatistics, population health, pharmacy, medical anthropology, ethics or any other related fields are encouraged to contact us.

The Division of Translational Therapeutics provides consultation services to their colleagues at UBC and PHSA affiliated institutions, including: BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre, Women’s Hospital, BC Cancer Agency and Vancouver General Hospital. These consultations are primarily complex patient cases addressing drug therapies and/or associated adverse drug reactions (ADRs). In cases where appropriate, the division can provide genotyping and interpretation to provide additional information with regards to therapeutic decisions.
