Razqallah Hakem, PhD

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer and the second leading cause of death among Canadian women. Our cancer research program focuses on i) the identification of the mechanisms that drive breast cancer development and metastasis and ii) discovery of the genetic targets and drugs to eradicate or prevent the development of breast tumours. Our team is committed to discover an ‘Achilles Heel’ approach to breast cancer.
