Phylodynamics in Epidemic Monitoring: Integrating Evolution and Epidemiology

Dr. Jeffrey Joy
Research Scientist, BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS
Assistant Professor of Medicine, University of British Columbia

Dr. Jeffrey Joy is a research scientist at the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE) in bioinformatics and evolutionary genetics and an Assistant Professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Dr. Joy received his Ph.D in evolutionary genetics from Simon Fraser University. His research centres on applications of evolutionary genetics (phylogenetics, population genetics and molecular evolution) in medicine and public health. Currently, his research group is focused on analyzing the dynamics of the Canadian HIV and HCV epidemics, quantifying rates of HIV migration between anatomical compartments including cellular reservoirs, and development of novel methods for understanding epidemic dynamics at all levels of epidemic hierarchies (within patient, to population, to epidemic) based on pathogen sequence data.

This is a free lecture and is open to the public. The lectures are geared towards researchers, clinicians, students and hospital staff.

During the Canada Post strike announced September 25, 2025, the following measures will be 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. Results required urgently can be faxed upon request. (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. We recommend requesting medication at least 2 weeks in advance in case of delivery delays, particularly to rural/remote parts of BC. (Contact Information: Phone 1-800-547-3622; FAX 604-806-8675)

During the Canada Post strike, we recommend that documents be faxed or couriered to our sites, versus utilization of regular mail service

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
