Cancer Research Program
Our research spans the full spectrum from learning how cancer cells work at the molecular level, to developing and testing new treatment approaches, to moving evidence into practice.
Cancer Research Program
The Cancer Research Program includes 14 scientists and 159 investigators, along with their research trainees and staff.
Scientists
These researchers have PhDs, MDs or both and devote at least 40 per cent of their time to research (but typically more than 75 per cent). All our scientists are also professors at the University of Ottawa and many are active clinicians at The Ottawa Hospital.
