Franco VizeacoumarDr. Franco J. Vizeacoumar, obtained his PhD in cell biology at the University of Alberta, Canada, and did his post-doctorate at the University of Toronto, Canada. His lab is working on developing genotype-directed cancer therapies for solid tumors byapplying basic biological concepts called synthetic lethality and synthetic dosage lethality. The long term goal of his research group is to build a unified human genetic network that will capture genetic dependencies of cancer cells and define key therapeutic targets. The work in the Vizeacoumar lab has been supported by multiple granting agencies, such as CIHR, SCA, CRS, SHRF, CFI, TFRI, PCC, and also by the Be Like Bruce organization and the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan.
