Integrative Cancer Biology Center.
Since its inception,
CMM has established strong collaborative research links
with clinical researchers at Princess Margaret Hospital, the
Hospital for Sick Children, Sunnybrook Hospital, and Toronto
Western Hospital.
In fact, the current co-Director is
James Drake, Chief Neurosurgeon at the Hospital for Sick
Children, and collaborative efforts with his group (and PMH,
Sunnybrook) have resulted in several successful NSERC/CIHR
Collaborative Health grants. All these Fields Institute efforts
(through a “virtuous cycle”!) have only served to further
strengthen research connections and to increase the synergy
and interaction between mathematics and the biomedical
sciences. The rest, one might say, is history and CMM is well
into its second decade, having recently celebrated its tenth
anniversary in 2015!
