New insights into the origin of breast cancer Narod, Steven
Description
Dr. Narod leads an internationally renowned research program in cancer genetics, greatly enhancing our understanding of the factors that shape women’s risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. He and his team advocate for genetic testing for women who do not have access to current public programs, and they recently launched The Screen Project, a national initiative to make genetic screening available to all Canadians at an accessible price. The project assists in the evaluation of the benefits of wide-spread population-based genetic testing to reduce mortality of hereditary cancers before they start. Dr. Narod is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and the recipient of multiple awards, including the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal and a Killam Prize in the Health Sciences. He has also been recognized as the world’s most cited researcher in breast cancer (2005).
