DR PETER H WATSON completed his medical training at the University of Cambridge and St Thomas’s Hospital London, UK and specialist training in Anatomic Pathology at the University of Manitoba. After fellowship training he established a career as a clinician scientist at the University of Manitoba, and then at BC Cancer and University of British Columbia.
He combines a clinical practice as a breast pathologist with research interests in the molecular pathology of breast and ovarian cancer, and in improving research biobanking resources. His research program focuses on biomarkers of breast tumour progression and response to therapies. This work has included the discovery, validation, elucidation of the mechanism of action, and exploration of the therapeutic potential of the S100A7 gene in breast cancer. His research has led to publication of over 200 scientific research papers in the fields of cancer research and biobanking.
