Research
In keeping with our pledge to connect and cultivate the most innovative minds in the fight against breast cancer, our one-of-a-kind research program fosters the talent of the most enterprising new breast cancer researchers in Canada.
Through our Career Development Awards, we provide promising young researchers and doctors the opportunity to pursue training in translational breast cancer research under the guidance and mentorship of the country’s leading scientists.
By extending our funding to researchers and clinical doctors, we are promoting an integrated and customized approach to breast cancer research – one that takes into account patients’ real-life experiences and concerns, not just the behaviour and characteristics of their cells.
We couldn’t think of a better way to draw fresh talent to breast cancer research, encourage innovative and holistic research projects and play a role in keeping our best and brightest in Canada.
