Announced on March 10, 2026, UBC’s Faculty Research Awards recognize exceptional research excellence and scholarly achievement across disciplines—from applied sciences and medicine to the social sciences and humanities. Recipients are selected by UBC’s Faculty Research Awards Committee and include both emerging and established researchers who are advancing knowledge and innovation.

[Carl de Boer](https://bme.ubc.ca/?directory=carl-de-boer) is recognized for his groundbreaking work at the intersection of genomics and computational biology. His research group develops innovative genomic and computational tools to better understand how the genome is regulated. By uncovering the mechanisms that control gene activity, his work aims to advance our ability to understand, diagnose, and treat disease.

The UBC Killam Research Prizes recognize outstanding research and scholarly contributions by UBC faculty members. The Early Career category celebrates exceptional researchers in the early stages of their academic careers who are already making significant impacts in their fields.
