Ontario Node



We have chosen to focus on targeted cancer therapies with increased efficacy and decreased toxicity through the definition of novel drug targets using innovative screening platforms coupled to preclinical models. This effort will build upon strengths in functional screening, cell and tissues models and medicinal chemistry.
