Research

All research at DCI is managed by the Centre of Cardiovascular Innovation. The Centre for Cardiovascular Innovation (CCI) is a clinical research operational centre providing services to cardiovascular investigators working in British Columbia to facilitate national and international clinical trials.

The provision to cardiovascular investigators of centralized research personnel, physical infrastructure and institutional expertise will enhance the scope and success of their research. CCI provides cardiovascular researchers with multiple benefits including cost efficient infrastructure, continuity, and greater autonomy in research planning and conduct. Member investigators of CCI have strong track records of successful scientific research in all aspects of cardiovascular care and are leaders both nationally and internationally.
