Emmanuelle Gattuso
Scott Bratman, Radiation
Oncologist and Scientist
Radiation oncologist recruited
from Stanford University in
Stanford, CA in 2014.
Dr. Bratman’s primary research focus is on
improving outcomes for patients with head
and neck cancer through optimized detection
and personalized treatments. His work aims
to develop circulating tumour DNA into a
clinically useful tool for patients
Benjamin Haibe-Kains,
Scientist
A computational biologist
recruited from Institut de
Recherches Cliniques de
Montreal in 2013
Dr. Haibe-Kains’ research focuses on new
computational approaches to characterizing
the ways cells become cancerous, how
particular drugs can affect those cancerous
cells, and translating genetic data into patient
treatment.
Trevor Pugh, Scientist
A cancer genomics researcher
recruited from the Broad
Institute of Harvard and MIT
in Boston, MA in 2013.
Dr. Pugh’s lab is focused on the application of
genome sequence analysis as a routine clinical
test, particularly as current cancer treatments
are increasingly predicated on genetic
information.
