ABOUT US

Working Together for Equity


An introduction to Trans Health Research with Professor Ada Cheung.

Trans Health Research conducts research with one goal: to provide robust evidence to improve the health and wellbeing of trans and gender diverse communities. Every question we ask, every project that we do, every collaboration that we start, is aligned with our goal and must translate to better health and advocacy for our communities.
