KCCF Chair in Pediatric Oncology
The Kids Cancer Care Foundation Chair in Pediatric
Oncology is the largest funded oncology chair of its
kind in Canada. Worth $6 million, the endowed chair
at the Alberta Children’s Hospital is designed to
attract a cancer scientist of international stature
who will build a world-class childhood cancer
research program in Alberta. The prestigious chair
holder will advance basic, translational and
clinical research by promoting interdisciplinary
research and hospital care and by attracting the world’s
brightest students, fellows, research associates and
faculty members to the province.
Held by Dr. Max Coppes
from 2002 to 2005, the chair is currently vacant. A
committee of cancer experts from the University of
Calgary and the Alberta Children’s Hospital is
currently recruiting a new chair. |
