The Department is located at the University of British Columbia's Point Grey campus, where we have laboratory and teaching space in the Vancouver Coastal Health UBC Hospital, Koerner Pavilion.

Research is carried out in this location by a number of resident faculty. However, our Department has sizeable holdings and a great deal of activity in all of the teaching hospitals in the UBC system; most graduate students are located in these centres. These include the Vancouver General Hospital, the B.C. Cancer Research Centre (including the Terry Fox Laboratory), St. Paul's Hospital and the B.C. Children's Hospital.

Within the Department there is a wide range of specialized equipment available due to the broadly distributed interests of the faculty. Animal care facilities are available at all sites. We also have an engineering design and shop facility that has designed and built experimental equipment from gas chromatography to hardware flown on the Space Shuttle.

For students, contact with the University computing system is available city-wide through a phone in service or local area network.  Access to the UBCnet, UBC library on-line services and the internet are also routinely available.
