Welcome Dr. Brad Wouters
We would like to welcome Dr. Brad Wouters (Professor, Departments of Medical Biophysics and Radiation Oncology; Executive Vice President Science & Research, University Health Network; Senior Scientist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre), as a new faculty member to the CPIN community.
Dr. Wouters was also Princess Margaret Cancer Centre's Interim Research Director (2014–2016). His research program examines the molecular mechanisms underlying how hypoxia and the tumour microenvironment affect cancer biology and therapeutic outcome.
As EVP of Science and Research, Dr. Wouters is focused on creating an environment that incentivizes, facilitates and rewards excellence in research across all elements of UHN. To this end, he led the development of UHN’s 2019–23 Strategic Research Plan, which incorporates team science and collaborative strategies to achieve UHN’s goals for research impact and organizational excellence. One of the signature priorities of this plan is to be a leader in embedding principles of equity, diversity and inclusion into all aspects of the institution’s research enterprise—such as the selection of prestigious chair positions, engaging youth from underrepresented backgrounds and providing education and training for leaders on global best practices.
