UBC Faculty Research Awards
Randy Gascoyne – made UBC history by becoming the first clinical faculty member to receive a Killam Research Prize
February 2012
Dr. Gascoyne is a Hematopathologist at the BC Cancer Agency and the sole Canadian member of the International Lymphoma Study Group (ILSG). He has expertise in lymphoma diagnosis and classification, molecular genetics of lymphoma and pathogenesis. His research interests include molecular alterations that characterize lymphomagenesis, biomarker analyses in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) and their use as outcome predictors and gene expression microarray profiling.
David Huntsman, Professor, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
February 2012
Dr. Huntsman focuses on the genetic predisposition to ovarian cancer. He has delineated the molecular differences between the different ovarian cancer subtypes, which will hopefully lead to more specific treatments. Recently, he headed the research group that discovered a new mutation in a gene, called FOXL2, which appears to be responsible for the development of granulosa cell tumours of the ovary. Dr. Huntsman has active research programs in the development of predictive and prognostic tissue based cancer biomarkers of a wide variety of tumor types as well as hereditary gastric cancer.
The UBC Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is an academic department of the UBC Faculty of Medicine, and has major responsibilities and leadership in activities related to education, research and academic practice.
The Department is characterized by its breadth and depth of its activities in all spheres of inquiry and education concerning the causes and mechanisms of disease, advancing the practice of the various disciplines of Laboratory Medicine.
Departmental faculty, staff, trainees and other personnel work at multiple sites across the UBC system, in partnership with Regional Health Authorities, Hospitals and Agencies, Research Centres and Institutes, Educational Institutions, Government and other stakeholders toward fulfillment of the academic mandate.
