Researchers in New Brunswick

The Canadian Cancer Society Research Chairs were established in 2011 through a partnership with the Université de Moncton, the University of New Brunswick and the Atlantic Cancer Research Institute. These New Brunswick researchers are investigating ways to improve treatments for metastatic kidney cancer and bring researchers, clinicians and cancer survivors together to better manage the burden of this disease.
