“If cancer stem cells lie at the heart of some cancers, then being able to predict the behavior of tumors and providing effective therapies against them means understanding the abnormal growth pathways within the stem cells themselves.”

- John Dick, Project Leader (UHN)

“The only reason that I'm willing to take a risk on this project is my confidence in the quality and camaraderie of my colleagues.”

- Scott Tanner, Principal Investigator (University of Toronto)

“We're examining DNA not for its well-recognized role as the genetic material to store and transmit genetic information, but rather for its less-known potential to act as a novel cancer diagnostic tool.”

- Yingfu Li, Principal Investigator (McMaster University)

“We're gaining more understanding of cell defects and how to modify them, so that treatment is no longer a shotgun approach, but more like an arrow aimed at a specific target.”

- Mark Minden, Principal Investigator (OCI)
