MBP researcher Dr. Trevor Pugh has been named the new Director of Genomics at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR).

Dr. Pugh has primarily focused his research on the application of genome sequence analysis as a routine clinical test, particularly as modern cancer treatments are increasingly predicated on genetic information. He is particularly interested in genome analysis of serial biopsies and circulating DNA collected during clinical trials, tumors of unknown etiology, and rare pediatric cancers.

According to OICR, in his new role "he will lead the OICR Genomics program, which brings together the Princess Margaret Genomics Centre, OICR’s Genome Technologies, Translational Genomics Laboratory and Genome Sequence Informatics teams under an integrated initiative to support basic, translational and clinical research".

MBP congratulates Dr. Pugh on this amazing achievement.
