Laboratory of Cancer Stem Cells at the University of Toronto

The Laboratory of Cancer Stem Cells at the University of Toronto researches special cells within tumors called cancer stem cells. These cells are believed to drive the growth, spread, and recurrence of cancers. The lab’s goal is to understand how these cells function and how they can be targeted with new treatments. By studying cancer stem cells, the team aims to develop therapies that can more effectively eliminate tumors and prevent them from coming back, ultimately improving outcomes for cancer patients.
