Highlights from a wonderful #CCRC2025. Thank you to the organizers for the opportunity to give a lightning talk on our work in creating better and safer CAR T cell therapies.

It was a fruitful 3 days of networking and great science! The future of cancer care is alive in 🇨🇦

Interested in using single cell technologies to unravel the molecular origins and evolution of ovarian cancer?

We are looking for a graduate student! More details here 👇

If you are a Canadian Researcher, faculty member, RA, PDF or graduate student in Canada please consider signing our letter to ask for increase of funding in research to make Canada a leader in science and build a stronger economy.
