The Rising Stars program was established to celebrate Dr. Connie Eaves’ Gairdner Wrightman Award, her election into the Royal Society in the UK and her appointment to the Order of Canada. A pioneer in her field, the late Dr. Eaves was a mentor to many young researchers at BC Cancer and a long-time advocate for equal opportunities in cancer research.
To honour this legacy, the awards are dedicated to the advancement of the next generation of women and BIPOC leaders in research at BC Cancer.
Funding for the awards was made possible through generous donor support via the BC Cancer Foundation.
Congratulations to this year’s award recipients.
