to the development of screening strategies for early detection of lung cancer, which is critical to improve the outcomes of lung cancer patients. Most recently, the Foundation aided our lab with the purchase of a high-tech machine we can use to study individual lung cancer cells which will enable us to better understand the contribution of single cells to lung tumour biology. In addition to funding these projects, the BC Cancer Foundation supports the BC Cancer Agency's annual conference, where scientists, doctors, students, and patients from all disciplines congregate to share and highlight the progress made in cancer research throughout the year. The conference is a great opportunity to present work, obtain feedback, and generate new ideas and collaborations, each of these being key to the advancement of our understanding of cancer biology and our ability to treat it. Hearing about all of the successes is very inspiring and the conference would not be possible without the help of the Foundation.
