Each day at the Queen's Cancer Research Institute there is amazing work being done in support of the battle against cancer.
Yet, it seems, few people realize that one of the most remarkable cancer research institutes in the world is hosted right here at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Kingston.
Changing that is one of the mandates for David Berman, who was appointed as the executive director of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Cancer Research Institute (QCRI) at the beginning of this year.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We카지노 게임 컬렉션re not the place that people first think of when they think of cancer research in Canada but maybe we can get to that point,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.
Looking to increase the QCRI카지노 게임 컬렉션s profile locally an open house event was held recently where members of the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and donors were given a behind-the-scenes look at where the research is being done 카지노 게임 컬렉션 from population studies of cancer etiology, through tumor biology and clinical trials, to outcomes and health services research.
Attendees heard about research that is being funded by the CCS from the researchers themselves, including Chris Booth, Andrew Craig, Chris O카지노 게임 컬렉션Callaghan, Chris Mueller, Lois Mulligan, who organized the event, and Elizabeth Eisenhauer, head of the Department of Oncology, and PhD candidate Mat Crupi.
The presentations, which covered a wide array of projects and forms of research, were eye-opening and inspiring and provided insight into why QCRI is such an important piece to the cancer battle.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We have world-class people doing cutting-edge research,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Berman. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We have a structure that is really unusual where we integrate the different sides of cancer research particularly well in the same building and we have a really strong track record in combining clinical care with basic and clinical research.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The QCRI utilizes a collaborative approach, Dr. Berman explains, which helps ensure that the work being done actually benefits patients.
카지노 게임 컬렉션There카지노 게임 컬렉션s a strong history here and tremendous abilities to make a difference in cancer research both through new treatments and paradigms like immune checkpoint inhibitors 카지노 게임 컬렉션 taking the brakes off the immune system. We카지노 게임 컬렉션re exploring new possibilities with large genomic studies and big data analysis tools where we카지노 게임 컬렉션re collaborating with people in computing and other departments to make sense of these huge amounts of information that we카지노 게임 컬렉션re getting on cancer,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Berman explains.
The QCRI has built an impressive reputation with breakthrough studies and a leading clinical trials group. With that foundation, the institute has been able to attract top graduate students and post-doctoral fellows who work alongside the researchers.
PhD candidate Tomas Baldasarre arrived at QCRI after he realized he was more interested in research, which eventually brought him to the lab of Dr. Craig. He says the complexity of cancer research is what drew him into the area of study.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It really is a complex field and the more you learn about it the more you realize the cure is still quite far away because it카지노 게임 컬렉션s such a complex set of problems that lead to the pathology. But to me that makes it interesting,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s a mystery, and a challenging one at that, but I like mysteries and challenges.카지노 게임 컬렉션
