About Us

The mission of the Terry Fox Laboratory is to fuel major improvements in cancer outcomes through basic and translational research with a current focus on cancer stem cells.

Growing evidence indicates that cancer stem cells are often rare, difficult to study and likely heterogeneous in their properties and composition, even within a single tumour. These issues pose significant challenges to the field of cancer research and highlight the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to effectively tackle many basic unknowns that underpin the cancer stem cell problem and to test new leads in a translational pipeline.
