He described the epidemiology of gastric and esophageal cancer incidence and survival for BC and other parts of the world. Additionally, he showed that ethnicity and genetic makeup affects the survival of gastric and esophageal cancer patients." (May 2011)
- Dr. Jennifer Baker: "Dr. Baker examined the effects of anti-cancer drugs in solid tumours. She investigated the activity of a hypoxic cytotoxin that has anti-vascular effects, illustrating the importance of assessing the effects of drugs in the context of the tumour microenvironment. This research will have an impact in evaluation of anti-cancer drug activity." (May 2010)
