The '''L. J. Blackmore Cancer Research Centre''', formerly the '''BC Cancer Research Centre''' ('''BCCRC''') and '''BCCA Cancer Research Centre''', is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Scientists and researchers perform basic, epidemiological, and clinical research on cancer prevention, early diagnosis of cancer, the molecular and genetic characteristics of the cancer process, and basic research related to new treatments for cancer. With direct links to the cancer centres across the province, discoveries at the Research Centre are quickly translated into clinical applications.
In 2005 the Canada Green Building Council certified the building had met LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold standards for its sustainable design, making it the first health-care facility in Canada to attain that distinction.<ref name="LEED Gold">{{cite news|title=BC Cancer Foundation's Research Building wins gold for going green|url=https://www.canadianarchitect.com/architecture/bc-cancer-foundation-s-research-building-wins-gold-for-going-green/1000042480/|newspaper=Canadian Architect|date=August 8, 2005|accessdate=September 12, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304123908/https://www.canadianarchitect.com/architecture/bc-cancer-foundation-s-research-building-wins-gold-for-going-green/1000042480/|archive-date=March 4, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
