Science and art work hand in hand. It takes creativity to think of the next big thing. Without new ideas and free-thinking there would be no new discoveries. Every day The Princess Margaret’s team of renowned researchers are using creativity to save lives and transform patient outcomes around the world. The Invest in Research program helps make these incredible advancements possible.
As a member, you’ll be given exclusive access to research labs, updates from the researchers you’re supporting, and a chance to vote on the next projects we fund. Your support will help us accelerate the pace of innovation to achieve our vision: to Conquer Cancer In Our Lifetime. This is your chance to witness cancer history in the making.
To become a member of this unique group of thought leaders, contact our Director, Jared Drewnowsky at Jared.Drewnowsky@thepmcf.ca.
