Terry Fox Research Institute
The Canadian cancer research institute funded by the Terry Fox Foundation, which runs the pan-Canadian Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network for precision oncology.
Also called: TFRIMarathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network
Overview
The Terry Fox Research Institute was created by the Terry Fox Foundation to invest the proceeds of the annual Terry Fox Run in translational cancer research across Canada. It funds multi-institutional programme project grants and, through the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network, links Canada's major cancer centres and research institutes in a shared precision medicine effort that harmonises genomic profiling, data sharing and clinical trials so that findings from one province can benefit patients in another. TFRI is a virtual institute headquartered in Vancouver with nodes in every region and works with the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and provincial agencies.
