Studentships to fund translational breast cancer research

Thirteen graduate trainees recently received 2016-2017 Translational Breast Cancer Research Studentships. These awards are supported by the Breast Cancer Society of Canada’s commitment to the Pamela Greenaway-Kohlmeier Translational Breast Cancer Research Unit at the London Health Sciences Centre’s London Regional Cancer Program (LRCP).

During this annual competition, trainee applications are assessed on the scientific quality of their project, their academic record, and the relevance of the project to translational breast cancer research.
