<unk>  née Gregory FRSC PhD, Director and co-founder of Terry Fox Laboratory, Vancouver, Canada is internationally recognized for her pioneering research in basic blood stem cell biology, which led to a breakthrough in treatment for leukemia.  She is one of the world leaders in the field of hematopoietic stem cell biology.  Her major contributions are the development of stem cell assays, the molecular regulation of stem cell fate decisions, and studies of leukemogensis. She also has an interest in studies in progenitor and stem cells in normal a malignant breast tissue.  Her recent independent discovery of breast stem cells has been a breakthrough understanding in the field of breast cancer.
Currently she is researching the unique properties of normal and cancerous stem cells in a variety of tissues, believed to be key in the development of definitive anti-cancer treatments, for breast cancer as well as leukemia.
