Congratulations to @RobartsCMIG PhD student @_nfernando for an excellent presentation and winning the neuro study group pitch award @ESMI_society

[The Robarts Cellular and Molecular Imaging Group @RobartsCMIG]

A fantastic day celebrating the Taylor International Prize in Medicine awarded to @carlhjune at @SchulichMedDent for his revolutionary work on CAR-T treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases. And our own @PJ_Foster on the role imaging can play in immunotherapy development.

Progress begins with research.

🔬 Breast Cancer Canada is proud to announce our 2025–2026 scholarship and fellowship awardees at the Breast Cancer Canada Translational Research Unit (BCC-TRU) at London Health Sciences Centre.

These ten emerging researchers are advancing studies focused on understanding, preventing, and treating metastatic breast cancer, while exploring precision medicine approaches that improve patient outcomes.

At Breast Cancer Canada, we are committed not only to advancing research but also to investing in the next generation of leaders. By supporting emerging scientists, we are helping to cultivate a pipeline of talented individuals who will drive innovation, champion patient-centered care, and shape the future of breast cancer care in Canada.
