The team is led by Dr. Tak Mak, one of Canada's most respected and productive scientists. Dr. Mak is most famous for his 1984 landmark scientific paper on the cloning of the T cell receptor gene, a key component of the human immune system. "I am honoured to lead this important new research institute and focus my research on the specific disease of breast cancer," said Dr. Mak.

The Campbell Institute was launched with a goal of raising a total of $135 million to build a five-year operating budget. Already, $85 million is committed with part of the money (a pledge of $25 million over five years) coming from funds raised by thousands of participants in Toronto's annual The Weekend to End Breast Cancer benefiting Princess Margaret Hospital.

Our scientists at The Campbell Institute are applying what they already know about how cancer grows to breast cancer research. This will lead to the development of new drugs and surgical and radiation treatments that are more effective, less harmful and can increase a patient's quality and length of life.
