Bruce and Janet Elliott Graduate Award in Transdisciplinary Cancer Research

Donor Story:

This award was established to help support a student enrolled in the Collaborative Cancer Graduate Program of the Queen's Cancer Research Institute. This program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving. The program offers students access to the best conceptual and technical expertise for their research projects and gives them a broader training experience. Graduate students play a key role in networking collaborative research initiatives through their interactions with their supervisor and mentors. Such team efforts are the driving force for innovation and excellence in both fundamental and translational cancer research.
