Congratulations to Emily Yeh (Terry Fox Laboratory), for receiving a Canada Graduate Scholarships - Master's Award (CGS-M) from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

The award is tied to her project titled, "Investigating contrasting germline mutations: SETD2 associated neurodevelopment syndromes", which looks at epigenetic dysregulation and transcriptional changes associated with two SETD2 neurodevelopmental syndromes in addition to modeling the mutations in cerebral organoids.

It is with deep sadness that we share news of the passing of Dr. Connie Eaves, distinguished scientist at BC Cancer’s Terry Fox Laboratory and professor in the Department of Medical Genetics and the School of Biomedical Engineering at UBC. 

We are pleased to share that Katherine Baillie (Stirling Lab) and Dr. Athena Phoa (Jiang Lab) have received recognition at the BCCRI Rising Stars Awards.

Katherine Baillie's work on "Investigating dominant negative mutations in DNA2 as a model for targeted cancer therapy" earned her the Outstanding In-Person Poster Presentation Award.
