Randy Thompson's cancer journey has been long and winding, but throughout it one thing has become clear: the future of cancer therapy lies in personalizing treatments to the realities of each patient.

Now, he's on a mission to make that future a reality.

It’s truly inspiring to see pan-Canadian research teams receiving funding for projects that patients themselves have identified as critical gaps—especially when patients also play a central role in the funding selection process.

This is patient-centered innovation in action.

Congratulations to all funded research teams!
