UBC's President’s Excellence Chairs are part of an innovative research program that will advance cutting-edge research to solve society’s most urgent challenges.

The President’s Excellence Chairs were created for exceptional individuals who will help advance research in Brain Health, Biodiversity Studies, Forest Bio-Products, Global Migration, Precision Oncology, Network Cultures and Healthy Aging. Investing in their remarkable intellect and talent will ensure they are better equipped to solve society’s most urgent challenges.

*A substantial philanthropic investment from businessman, philanthropist and UBC alumnus Edwin Leong has helped create an additional President's Excellence Chair: The Edwin S.H. Leong UBC Chair in Healthy Aging.
