Breast and ovarian cancers remain the most common cancers and the second leading cause of death among Canadian women. Our research program focuses on uncovering the mechanisms behind breast and ovarian cancers while seeking targets and treatments that can eradicate or prevent these tumors. Our team is committed to developing an Achilles Heel approach to combat these cancers and others.
