Cancer Research 101: Welcome to the New, Improved (I Hope) 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.

Welcome to the New, Improved (I Hope) Blog!

Welcome to my new, updated and enhanced blog.

Whether you landed here directly, or were re-directed from the former site (www.michael-wosnick.blogspot.com) I hope you will enjoy the new look and feel of this.

My goals and aspirations and motives in writing this are still the same, but once I realized I was getting serious about this, I felt that a more robust template that would allow me to do more things was called for.

Your comments are welcome as always :)

Please update your bookmarks to the new URL - http://cancer-research101.blogspot.ca (and note the hyphen! :)

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).
