The University of British Columbia / BC Cancer Research Ethics Board (UBC BCC REB) is a UBC-affiliated Research Ethics Board (REB) for BC Cancer.
The UBC BCC REB is responsible for reviewing clinical, epidemiological and behavioural adult oncology research projects, including basic science projects that use human materials. All research at BC Cancer involving humans or material and information derived from humans must be reviewed and approved by the UBC BCC REB before the project can be activated.
The UBC BCC REB is comprised of members who among them pool extensive experience and knowledge in scientific investigations, cancer research, the experience of cancer patients and the ethical issues raised by research involving humans.
