Dr. Stuart Edmonds is the Vice President, Research, Health Promotion and Survivorship at Prostate Cancer Canada. We are honoured to have him coming to Brampton to update us on PCC’s research funding program.
Dr. Edmonds will highlight some of the recent breakthroughs in prostate cancer research and discuss some of the questions that still need to be answered.
From www.prostatecancer.ca: “Dr. Stuart Edmonds joined Prostate Cancer Canada in February 2012. During his time at the organization he has spearheaded the launch of the Research Strategic Plan, providing the direction for research and survivorship activities for 2012-2015. From this plan, PCC has launched numerous new research programs based on the key pillars: Collaboration, Innovation and Talented People. Dr. Edmonds has also instituted a fair and transparent peer review process to steward and safeguard funds raised in support of prostate cancer research and to ensure that only the most promising, high quality research is funded.
Prior to joining PCC Dr. Edmonds held leadership roles at the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, the Canadian Cancer Research Alliance and the National Cancer Institute of Canada. Stuart holds a doctorate in pharmacology from Oxford University.”
