Thank you…
you
for supporting Lawson researchers
conducting bench-to-bedside (translational) cancer research at London Health
Sciences Centre’s London Regional Cancer Program, where discoveries made in
the lab are being connected to real-life applications for patients.
Our research is helping to answer key questions related to how cancer spreads,
why individual cancer patients react differently to the same drugs and how to
treat a tumour with more precision and fewer side effects. Working together
with our multidisciplinary teams and regional partners, we are closing the gap
between cancer research and clinical care.
Thanks to our Presenting Partners, CIBC Commercial Banking and
CIBC Wood Gundy | The Seabrook Financial Group, and thank you for your
generous support of the dedicated physicians, researchers and staff who are
making breakthroughs in the fight against cancer.
