Leadership

Collaboration is a key value at the heart of OICR.

Collaboration is an integral driver of our leadership team, which brings together experts with diverse voices, backgrounds and skill sets to lead our shared pursuit of world-class translational cancer research together. OICR is overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors, which is responsible for the success and sustainability of the Institute and the overall governance of the affairs of the corporation.

OICR has joined the 50 – 30 Challenge. This is a challenge to increase the representation and inclusion of diverse groups within the workplace
