Dr. Joy’s work is currently focused on the dynamics of the Canadian HIV and HCV epidemics, development of clinical assays for HIV and HCV drug resistance, within-host viral evolution, rates of turnover in HIV cellular reservoirs as well as rates of migration between them, and development of novel methods for understanding epidemic dynamics based on sequence data.

 

His research interests include evolutionary epidemiology, virus evolution, phylogenetics, population genetics, molecular evolution, and bioinformatics. Dr. Joy has publications in the world’s top journals (including two in the journal Nature and most recently one in the Lancet Infections Diseases), he has a strong interest in translating evolutionary genetics to problems related to human health and disease.

During the Canada Post strike, the following measures have been undertaken to minimize service disruption to BC-CfE clients and providers.

  • The BC-CfE Laboratory has transitioned to private courier for delivery of outgoing reports and documents. (Lab Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8775; FAX 604-806-9463)
  • The BC-CfE Drug Treatment Program (DTP) will fax outgoing forms and documents to the provider’s office.  (DTP Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8515; FAX 604-806-9044)
  • St. Paul’s Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy has transitioned to private courier for delivery of medications. (Contact Information: Phone 1-800-547-3622; FAX 604-806-8675)

During this time, we recommend that documents be faxed or couriered to our sites, versus utilization of regular mail service.
