Welcome



Our mission is to work collaboratively to ensure that today's best science becomes tomorrow's affordable medicine. Through its portfolio of projects, the Terry Fox Research Institute supports translational cancer research. This type of research requires organized, focused teams of researchers with a wide range of expertise to systematically achieve milestone-driven goals as quickly as possible.

Our projects bring researchers from across Canada to work seamlessly together to generate the evidence needed by cancer organizations to apply new knowledge to improve health outcomes in prevention, early detection and treatment of cancer patients.
