Our research combines diverse techniques ranging from genomics, computational biology, tumour imaging, in vitro and in vivo functional models to study biological and clinical phenotypes.The proteins produced by these genes may serve as targets for novel chemotherapy drugs and
other cancer treatments, or imaging scans.
Our naturopathic oncology providers have extensive knowledge of the impacts of radiation therapy, chemotherapy and
other cancer treatments, in addition to their expertise in the effects of natural therapies.
