Genome BC DRDK 2024 preview image

Genome BC was proud to present Dr. Sam Aparicio at the  Annual Don Rix Distinguished Keynote Address on November 18, 2024. Between 2006 and 2012, there were dramatic technological advances in the sequencing speed, cost and interpretation of human genomes. This year’s keynote address explored how these advancements revolutionized our understanding of how cancers begin, evolve and develop drug resistance.

As a result, the development of cancer drugs has accelerated and we’ve created new ways to diagnose and manage cancers that were previously intractable. Dr. Aparicio highlighted British Columbia’s pivotal role in this scientific revolution and discuss ongoing challenges at the frontiers of cancer research.
