We are RESP: an academic group with major interest in predictive analytics in respiratory diseases

We are looking for graduate students (click here to find out more)

BACKGROUND

The Respiratory Evaluation Sciences Program (RESP) is a comprehensive epidemiology, health outcomes, and health economics program focused on chronic respiratory diseases (namely asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD]).

We are hosted within Collaboration for Outcomes Research and Evaluation, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, UBC. Our group has diverse expertise in using clinical data, real-world 'big' data, and computer simulations (disease modeling) techniques to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of health technologies and their 'value for money' potential. Our research has continuously been supported through multiple grants from CIHR and other agencies.
