MD Anderson Cancer Center reposted this
This Monday, we were thrilled to host scientists from MD Anderson Cancer Center, for the Slaight Breakthrough Forum at The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. This one-day symposium was designed to foster collaborations between researchers from both institutions. During the event, a select group of PM researchers, including scientists, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers, showcased their latest work, contributed to the discussion and highlighted a diverse range of research being conducted at the centre. Thirteen scientists from MD Anderson presented their latest research and added to the conversation of advancing cancer research in three streams: Novel Therapeutics, Metabolism and Hypoxia, and Tumour Ecosystem. A key highlight was the announcement of the inaugural Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and MD Anderson Cancer Center Joint Seed Grant recipients. The funding, made possible by the Allan Slaight Breakthrough Fund and MD Anderson, aims to promote cross-institutional collaborations in both discovery and translational research. "We look forward to seeing the groundbreaking advancements that will emerge from these collaborations, and to continuing our joint efforts to push the boundaries of cancer research and treatment," says Dr. Schimmer, Research Director at PM. “This collaboration with MD Anderson highlights how science is a team sport, and we can accomplish more by working together.” Research at UHN
