1 min. read
Each year, CCS recognizes prominent Canadian researchers for their bold leadership and trailblazing contributions to cancer research through the CCS Awards for Excellence. Earlier this month, the seven winners of the 2020 awards were announced.
Until this year, CCS had four Awards for Excellence for researchers excelling in basic biomedical and cancer control research. This year saw the addition of two new awards – the Lifetime Contribution Prize and the Inclusive Excellence Prize.
The revamped awards program gives CCS an opportunity to honour extraordinary Canadian researchers in a new way.
“This year’s recipients are driving progress not only through their cutting-edge research, but also through their advocacy and collaborative efforts,” says Dr Stuart Edmonds, Executive Vice-President, Mission, Research & Advocacy at CCS.
