Dr. Nguyen presents at the Terry Fox Research Institute 10th annual scientific meeting in Toronto, Canada in a plenary session in honour of the late Dr. Connie Eaves. Dr. Eaves was internationally recognised as a pioneer in the field of stem cell biology. Her work developing robust quantitative assays to measure stem cell activity led to studies investigating the heterogeneity of normal and malignant stem cells in both mammary and hematopoietic stem cell fields.

Redefining Our Understanding of Cancer Biology
Our Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of Cancer Heterogeneity
The mission of our lab is to redefine translational cancer research by identifying novel treatment strategies that disrupt malignant clone function. To achieve this, we are actively investigating the molecular programs that regulate specific clone functions such as propagating activity, metastatic activity and treatment resistance. This will aid in our efforts to devise targeted treatment strategies to disrupt the function of these clones that are responsible for disease progression.
