Cancer Research 101: Check Out the New Enhanced Features of the Blog

Cancer Research 101

A blog that explains some of the astounding progress, promise and some real caveats behind the headlines of today's (and tomorrow's) cancer research. It is written for the NON-scientist by Dr Michael Wosnick, a recently retired senior cancer research executive, who has over 20 years of experience in the field and who has a penchant for cancer research but also a demonstrated talent for explaining technical and complex science in a way that anyone can understand and appreciate.

Check Out the New Enhanced Features of the Blog

For those of you who take notice of such things, I have done some work behind the scenes to add a new, easier-to-navigate look and feel to the blog. I hope you enjoy it....

For example, you will notice that there are now 2 sidebars to permit some future growth, but also some new informational features. Check out the new navigation bar - this will not only make it easier to navigate the blog but also adds some new resources that I hope you find useful: a full Table of Contents for posts, some drop-down links to a number of online resources to help you get more cancer research info from good quality, reputable sources and organizations, and I have even added links to a few online cancer "dictionaries" so that you can look up any terms that might be confusing you.

On the right sidebar, you will now find a drop down keyword search that should make it dead simple to identify any post on the blog by its label/tag/keyword.

On the left sidebar you will see more buttons to enable instant sharing of the blog. If you don't see one visible that you want, click the green "plus" button and you will be presented with dozens more choices. Feel free to share as you wish!

And finally, you will see in the footer that there is now a new section that links you to some of the blogs that I follow myself, and from which some of the information gets cross-posted.

More changes are coming - I am trying to make this site as informative and useful to readers as possible.

Your comments and suggestions are always welcome!

About Me

Name: Dr. Michael A. Wosnick

Location: Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada

As the first VP, Research of the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and Scientific Director of the CCS Research Institute, I had oversight of all of the Society’s research programs across the country: a cancer research portfolio of between $40 and $50 Million annually. Prior to these appointments I served the National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC) in two successive capacities – as Executive Director for 7 years, and prior to that as Director of Research Programs for more than 10 years. In total, I have almost 35 years of experience encompassing the academic, biotechnology and not-for-profit sectors. Prior to the NCIC, I worked at Allelix Biopharmaceuticals Inc. in Toronto in various senior research capacities, and was a Research Scientist and Group Leader at Toronto's Connaught Research Institute. I hold a B.Sc. degree from the University of Toronto (1974), and a Ph.D. degree in molecular biology from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario (1978). I did further training as a Post-Doctoral Fellow of the Medical Research Council of Canada, working in the fields of molecular biology and gene expression at the University of Calgary Medical School (1978 through 1981).
