Research Day 2022

CRINA Research Day was held in person at Lister Centre on Tuesday, October 18, 2022.

In the morning, we heard about the Investigator Initiated Trials Program at the Cross Cancer Institute, along with some of the trials run by CRINA members. We then had three concurrent trainee oral presentations sessions.

In the afternoon, we had an incredible line up of principal investigators who presented on topics ranging from AI to drug discovery to personalized medicine. 

To end our jam-packed research day, we had trainee poster presentations! 

See our schedule for more details.

About the Darin McDonald Team Award in Basic Oncology Research Award

Darin McDonald believed that it is the team working collaboratively where the greatest results are achieved. With this in mind, his family and friends, in collaboration with CRINA, created the Darin McDonald Team Award in Basic Oncology Research endowment in his memory, to provide an annual award to a multidisciplinary team that demonstrates excellence and collaboration in basic oncology research.
