Research Update: Rising Star Award
We hear a lot about research in the field of cancer these days. There have been so many exciting developments that have opened the door to potential new treatments and knowledge.
But how often do we really hear about the research team behind the discoveries? At most, we may be introduced to one lead scientist with years of research experience. Where did that thinker get their start? How did they get to the point of making a great discovery? What would have happened if they had chosen a different path – would the breakthrough still have occurred?
Prostate Cancer Canada thinks of the people behind the research. We understand that in order to develop an experienced researcher, there needs to be support in the early stages.
That’s exactly why we developed the Rising Stars in Prostate Cancer Research awards. The program provides salary and research funding for outstanding research scientists just starting their careers as independent investigators in prostate cancer research.
We’re excited to share in their discoveries that will help those affected by prostate cancer and are proud to be able to help ignite their potential.
