HIS provides a consultative service to the health care community, as well as academic programs (see <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Trials</strong> Training Facilities,<br />

below). The School’s view of health information encompasses clinical, sociological, epidemiological, administrative, legal, <strong>and</strong> economic<br />

perspectives. Health is seen from a community perspective <strong>and</strong> encompasses the full range of services including health promotion <strong>and</strong><br />

disease prevention, home care, community health <strong>and</strong> occupational health, physicians services, institutional acute care, rehabilitation <strong>and</strong><br />

extended care.<br />

The Vancouver Prostate Centre’s Microarray Facility is a multi-platform facility that provides research projects with services ensuring<br />

the successful design, execution <strong>and</strong> interpretation of microarray experiments. The facility offers commercial (Agilent, Illumina <strong>and</strong><br />

NimbleGen) whole-genome <strong>and</strong> custom high-density microarrays for gene expression, miRNA, copy number variation <strong>and</strong> epigenetic<br />

studies. Exon capture arrays were recently added which when integrated with next generation sequencing technologies, will make whole<br />

genome <strong>and</strong> targeted re-sequencing studies possible.<br />

The Facility is recognized as an expert in the design <strong>and</strong> use of custom spotted cDNA, oligonucleotide <strong>and</strong> protein microarrays, <strong>and</strong> in the<br />

analysis of the resulting data. Moreover, the facility has added software that allows seamless cross-platform integration <strong>and</strong> analysis of<br />

expression, genomic <strong>and</strong> next generation sequence data making extremely powerful <strong>and</strong> comprehensive studies possible.<br />

C2E2 exists to facilitate the development of an evidence-based body of knowledge, its implementation <strong>and</strong> the evaluation of subsequent<br />

outcomes. C2E2 supports clinical research <strong>and</strong> evaluation of clinical programs <strong>and</strong> provides expertise in clinical research methodology <strong>and</strong><br />

statistics to other VCHRI investigators <strong>and</strong> health care policy makers<br />

C2E2 research activities are in five areas:<br />

• Systematic reviews<br />

• <strong>Clinical</strong> research methodology, data management <strong>and</strong> data analysis<br />

• Health services <strong>and</strong> outcomes research<br />

• Health economics<br />

• Health information systems <strong>and</strong> technology<br />

C2E2 Research projects include interests in:<br />

• Respiratory health<br />

• Primary care<br />

• Emergency medicine<br />

• Hip health <strong>and</strong> mobility<br />

• Cardiac surgery<br />

• Orthopedics.<br />

• Trauma
