Cancer Therapeutics Program
|
Chronic Disease Program
|
 The Cancer
Therapeutics Program is based at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre. Scientists, oncologists, and surgeons
are investigating everything from basic cancer cell biology to the development of
novel targeted therapeutics, to clinical trials and population-based studies in
patients.
|
 The Chronic
Disease Program includes scientists and clinicians focused on improving the prevention,
diagnosis, and treatment of chronic disease. Major areas of research include hypertension and kidney disease, diabetes and obesity, infectious disease (eg. AIDS), and problems of reproduction and development.
