Our lab was excited to come together for the 45th Annual Terry Fox Run! It was a great chance to step outside the lab, show our team spirit, and join thousands of others in supporting cancer research. We were proud to run, walk, and cheer each other on while honouring Terry’s incredible legacy.
We are delighted to welcome Kevin and Elisse, who are joining us as IMS Master’s students, and Hansen and Priyanka, who will be undertaking their undergraduate thesis projects in the lab. We’re excited to have them on the team and look forward to the great work ahead!
