Impact

BC Cancer’s 2024 Cancer Emerging Multidisciplinary Research Programs supports research teams to initiate novel multidisciplinary research projects that aim to tackle well-defined issues or problems that affect patients living with cancer or at risk of developing cancer. Funding for the programs is provided through the BC Ministry of Health in collaboration with the BC Cancer Foundation.

2024 Emerging Multidisciplinary Research Programs Recipients:

As a result of the largest gift in Canadian history for liver cancer, BC Cancer is establishing a unique multi-disciplinary liver cancer program, led by Dr. Pamela Hoodless (Director & Distinguished Scientist at BC Cancer), to increase the global understanding of the disease and develop more effective treatments. The team’s formation is made possible by this generous gift of $1 million from Vancouver-based biotechnology firm Acuitas Therapeutics, Inc.
