This Cancer Research Awareness Month, we celebrate the researchers working towards making all cancers curable diseases. Now more than ever, we need a robust translational research system to make immunotherapies available to cancer patients, and we honour the people who work to make that happen.

Join us for a webinar on May 30, hosted with @cancercolab and @nrc_cnrc, to explore the potential of viral vectors in emerging cancer therapies.
