Vincent Giguère, Ph.D., F.R.S.C.

Principal Investigator

Vincent Giguère, an international leader in the field of nuclear receptors, is a professor in the Departments of Biochemistry, Medicine and Oncology at McGill University and a researcher at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre. Dr. Giguère identified several members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors and revealed mechanisms demonstrating how these proteins work at the molecular level. His ground-breaking work also led to major advances in our understanding of the roles played by nuclear receptors and their natural and synthetic ligands in embryonic development, adult physiology and several diseases, most notably breast cancers. His most recent work has focused on understanding of how cancer cells meet the energy and resource requirements to sustain the needs of rapidly growing tumours, which intra-cellular metabolism is different from normal cells.
