Genomic Approaches to Personalizing Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
Principal investigator: Marco Marra, Professor in the Department of Medical Genetics, $5.7 million
The UBC-led team will determine if evidence-based personalized medicine is more effective than the current system of managing cancer treatment. Researchers will explore the implementation of personalized cancer genomic medicine to improve treatment efficiency and efficacy, reduce toxicity, and inform more rational deployment of the limited available cancer management resources.
