The Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute (GCI) is an internationally renowned research institution, committed to coordinating and conducting independent basic cancer research and training within a technologically advanced centre. Affiliated with McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine , the GCI brings together the very best scientists, technicians, graduate students and research fellows. Providing an environment where investigators work together sharing equipment and facilities, generates an atmosphere that fosters and encourages progressive ideas and is scientifically and financially beneficial. The GCI encourages a multidisciplinary approach in its research activities and is intensifying the union of basic and clinical research, particularly in the support and training of its students and fellows. This union allows greater synchrony along the research pathway from the laboratory to clinical applications. The GCI research efforts are focused along four core themes: • Cancer therapeutics • Cellular stemness and plasticity • Oncometabolism • Tumor microenvironment
