Many of our researchers are using advanced molecular tools to dissect out the mechanisms that cause cancer. Sometimes that involves organisms that are far from human, which because of their simplicity allow us to answer questions that may be too complex in our own species. In an exciting new approach here, we see the embryo … Read more
The problem with cancer is not only that the cells have ‘gone rogue’ and are misbehaving. The abnormal environment in cancer tissues also gives the cancer an advantage in surviving and becoming more aggressive toward the patient. Several of our researchers are focused on the role of the tumour microenvironment in favouring tumour growth and … Read more
Research does not only involve finding new ways to treat disease, but also discovering how we can best prevent cancer occurring in the first place. The picture shows researchers involved in the Atlantic Path Research Network, a landmark study led by Dr Louise Parker (Canadian Cancer Society Chair in Population Cancer Research) that aims to … Read more
One of the most important areas of emphasis for cancer researchers is identifying markers of disease that can be used for detection of cancer or to track how the patient is progressing. We have several teams of researchers engaged on this challenge, which include the clinicians who are dealing with patient diagnosis and treatment as … Read more
