Ongoing research across a wide spectrum of biomedicine and the life sciences; including biochemistry, stem cell biology, immunology, molecular genetics, molecular medicine and gene therapy.

The Terry Fox Laboratory (TFL) has expertise in diverse research areas, including mammalian systems, normal and malignant mammary tissues, lineage specification in the gut, and yeast genetics. Experimental approaches employed at TFL include genetically engineered models, patient xenograft models, in vitro cell based assays, highly dimension single cell phenotyping, molecular biology and biochemistry, DNA regulation, transcriptomics, epigenetics, and DNA repair. In recent years, TFL has placed emphasis on the development of new technologies and their use to address fundamental questions in the control of cell growth and differentiation, aging, and gene regulation.
