Cancer Societies Merge
February 4th, 2009
On February 1, the operations of the National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC) were integrated into the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), resulting in the formation of the Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute (CCSRI). A statement from the CCS states that the CCSRI will continue to support and fund research previously supported by the NCIC. Michael Wosnick, former executive director of NCIC, has been appointed the V-P Research of the CCS, and will serve as Scientific Director of the CCSRI.
In unrelated news, today (Feb. 4) is World Cancer Day.
