Terry Fox Laboratory - BC Cancer Agency

British Columbia Cancer AgencyTERRY FOX LABORATORY‣ The discovery of rapidly dividing stem cells in the normal breast that can individuallyregenerate an entire mammary gland and have features shared by bad prognosis breastcancer.‣ The discovery that blood‐forming stem cells undergo an abrupt developmental switch soonafter birth that causes most of them to suddenly stop dividing.‣ The discovery of a new agent for killing human acute leukemia cells that may be moreeffective in patients‣ The discovery of how several different pairs of genes and mutations may collaborate to causeleukemia.Key Research StaffResearcher nameAllen EavesMD, PhD MedicalBiophysics, FRCPC, FACPPosition & Cross‐AppointmentsDirectorProfessor, Medicine, UBCProfessor, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, UBCRyan Brinkman PhD Genetics Senior ScientistAssistant Professor, Medical Genetics, UBCConnie Eaves PhD Immunology Director (Starting January 1, 2007)Professor, Medical Genetics, UBCAssociate Member, Medicine, UBCAssociate Member, Pathology & LaboratoryMedicine, UBCMember, Exp Medicine, Exp Pathology, GeneticsProgram, Oncology Program, UBCDonna Hogge MD, PhD ExperimentalPathology, FRCPCSenior ScientistClinical Professor, Medicine, UBCSr Hematologist Leukemia/BMT Program of BCMember, Exp Medicine, Genetics Program, OncologyProgram, UBCPamela Hoodless PhD Biochemistry Senior ScientistAssistant Professor, Medical Genetics, UBCMember, Genetics Program, Oncology Program, UBCKeith Humphries MD, PhD Medical Genetics Senior ScientistProfessor, Medicine, UBCAssociate Member, Medical Genetics, UBCMember, Exp Medicine, Exp Pathology, GeneticsProgram, Oncology Program, UBCXiaoyan Jiang MD, PhD MolecularBiologyResearch ScientistAssistant Professor, Medical Genetics, UBCProfessor, Medical Genetics, UBCMember, Genetics Program, UBCGerald Krystal PhD Biochemistry Senior ScientistProfessor, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, UBCMember, Exp Medicine, Exp Pathology, UBCMember, Genetics Program, Oncology Program, UBC150
