Centre for Discovery in Cancer Research (CDCR)

McMaster and Hamilton have many strong cancer experts working in clinical settings and laboratories across the city, as well as in collaborations across Canada and around the globe. The CDCR brings these scientists together to provide a 360-degree research agenda that addresses questions in the lab, clinic, and community to provide a holistic research program of global impact.
We are especially focused on building expertise around treatment-resistant cancers, such as glioblastoma, triple-negative breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, treatment-refractory lung cancer, brain metastases, and advanced ovarian cancer, among others.
We are proud of the team we’ve assembled at the CDCR and are optimistic about the impact of our research, both today and tomorrow. We encourage researchers and students working in the fight against cancer to join our team, and welcome support from the community to help fund our work.
Together, we can make a difference
