Five BC Cancer researchers have been recognized by the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR) for their work advancing health research and discoveries for improved patient care. The award recipients were recognized in one of two program categories: the Health Professional-Investigator Program and the Innovation to Commercialization Program.

Recipients in the Health Professional-Investigator Program category

The MSFHR Health Professional-Investigator (HP-I) Program is designed to develop B.C.’s research talent and help decrease the gap between health research and its implementation. The awards support health professionals who are actively involved in patient care to conduct and apply research relevant to health and/or the health system.

Recipients in the Innovation to Commercialization Program category

The Innovation to Commercialization (I2C) Program supports researchers to advance their discoveries or inventions towards practical application, resulting in products or technologies that improve health outcomes and enrich B.C.'s health innovation ecosystem.

Congratulations to this year’s award recipients for their continued effort to reduce the burden of cancer and provide person-centred care.
