Lab Software Development Team

at the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS


We’re building tools for the clinical and research work here at the BC CfE. If you’d like to help stop HIV, look for open positions at the CfE careers page.

If you’d like to know more about our work, two of our main projects are open source: MiCall and Kive. You can also visit the main BC CfE page.

Here are some of the lab’s research papers:
