What We Do

Our main research focus is to improve patient outcomes by gaining deeper understanding of lymphoma biology and disease progression which can be translated into clinical applications. Our ultimate goal is to improve patient outcomes through enhanced precision medicine, which can be designed using advanced genomic tools.

New study reveals biological diversity in Hodgkin lymphoma

A new study led by BC Cancer researchers shows that classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) is not one disease, but several biologically distinct subtypes. The study, published in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, shows each disease subtype is caused by different genetic changes and interacts uniquely with the immune system.

Dr. Christian Steidl receives AstraZeneca and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Grant

Dr. Christian Steidl, senior scientist and Executive Director, Research at BC Cancer, is the recipient of a 2025 Operating Grant in Blood Cancer, co-funded by AstraZeneca Canada and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.

The research is dedicated to developing innovative tools for precise and efficient gene editing in B-cell lymphomas. By targeting the underlying genetic causes of cancer, this work paves the way for novel treatment strategies and opens new possibilities for patients living with B-cell lymphoma.

Dr. Ryan Morin receives Canadian Cancer Society Bernard and Francine Dorval Prize

Dr. Ryan Morin (Centre for Lymphoid Cancer) is the co-recipient of the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) Bernard and Francine Dorval Prize. 

Dr. Morin is a national and international leader in his field of studying how changes to our genes lead to cancer. He has conducted cutting-edge research that has directly helped doctors understand, diagnose and better treat lymphomas.
