Medical Oncology Research

The Division of Medical Oncology is a driving force in cancer research in Canada. Forty-eight per cent of the divisional faculty belong to clinician investigator or clinician scientist streams. In addition, some of the faculty in the quality improvement stream also perform research. The faculty have diverse research expertise, which ranges from molecular biological laboratory research to clinical trials and health-services research. Many individuals have key roles provincially (Ontario Health Cancer Care Ontario), nationally (Canadian Cancer Trials Group) and internationally (ASCO). A major strength of the Division is its collaborations and partnerships with external groups locally, nationally and internationally. Locally, the Division of Medical Oncology holds an annual grant competition with the aim of supporting junior faculty with proposals demonstrating cross-institutional collaboration.
