World-leading research and innovation – right in the heart of Canada.
The USask Signature Series explores the cutting-edge research taking place at the University of Saskatchewan across the university’s Signature Areas of Research.
Cancer is a foe that doctors and medical researchers have been battling for years. Incredible advances in fighting cancer have been developed at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) and around the world.
Cancer treatments were once a one-size-fits all approach, but today USask researchers are exploring ways to personalize cancer treatments for patients. In the same way someone’s glasses are made to fit their unique prescription and will not work as well for everyone, researchers are looking for ways to tailor cancer responses to each individual patient’s specific needs.
Dr. Franco Vizeacoumar (PhD) is a professor in the Department of Oncology with the University of Saskatchewan's College of Medicine and is a senior research scientist with the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency. His lab explores new avenues for treating cancer, with a special focus on genomics-based research.
By using new state-of-the-art tools, Vizeacoumar and his lab are developing unique ways to battle cancer that can be tailored to an individual patient's needs and type of cancer. The goal? A future where effective and personalized treatments are common practices.
