A fantastic day celebrating the Taylor International Prize in Medicine awarded to @carlhjune at @SchulichMedDent for his revolutionary work on CAR-T treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases. And our own @PJ_Foster on the role imaging can play in immunotherapy development.

Progress begins with research.
🔬 Breast Cancer Canada is proud to announce our 2025–2026 scholarship and fellowship awardees at the Breast Cancer Canada Translational Research Unit (BCC-TRU) at London Health Sciences Centre.
These ten emerging researchers are advancing studies focused on understanding, preventing, and treating metastatic breast cancer, while exploring precision medicine approaches that improve patient outcomes.
At Breast Cancer Canada, we are committed not only to advancing research but also to investing in the next generation of leaders. By supporting emerging scientists, we are helping to cultivate a pipeline of talented individuals who will drive innovation, champion patient-centered care, and shape the future of breast cancer care in Canada.

I had a wonderful time at #CCRC2025 learning about all the amazing research and innovations happening in all areas of cancer research. It was great being able to share some of the work we do in the Foster lab with MPI for cancer imaging! @PJ_Foster @RobartsCMIG
Our work on MPI for lymph node mapping is now available on bioRxiv!
Magnetic Particle Imaging Lymphography (MPIL): A novel technique for lymph node mapping biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #biorxiv_biophys
I’m happy to share that our paper on “Focused small field of view magnetic particle imaging for the isolation and quantification of MPI signal in tumours” has been published in the International Journal of Magnetic Particle imaging (IJMPI).
Read it here: doi.org/10.18416/IJMPI.2024.…
