Current PhD student projects
A future without cancer. That’s what we’re working towards. At Tenovus Cancer Care we’ve funded vital research for over 50 years. We’re finding new ways to diagnose it, better ways to treat it, and we’re making life easier for people living with cancer today.
Below are the projects that Tenovus Cancer Care is currently supporting to continue helping those affected by cancer.
