Research comprises a major component of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. The centre’s brand-new, state-of-the-art facility complements the establishment of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and the collaborative research centre, setting the stage for Thunder Bay to become a world-class leader in key areas of medicine.

TBRHSC’s vision is to expand its research capacity and academic programming and, in concert with the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and Lakehead University develop into a full academic health sciences centre by the end of the decade.

We are committed to becoming leaders in innovation, knowledge transfer, health systems change and the development of best practices. Career scientists in our Regional Cancer Care (RCC) program collaborate with scientists at dedicated research and health care facilities in Thunder Bay and around the world, conducting basic research into cellular and molecular aspects of cancer in our wet lab. Ongoing collaborations include contributions to the expanding Clinical Trials Program, translational research and the academic activities of the cancer centre.

The evolving research studies also involve Psychosocial Oncology, Medical Physics and Radiation Oncology as researchers continuously investigate and test new approaches, treatment methods, applications and therapeutic tools for strategies to address the complex origins and progression of cancer.   Using the following link or the navigation menu on the left, you will find additional information regarding the Cancer Research Program.
