Leader, Ontario Hereditary Cancer Research Network
OICR Associate

Dr. Raymond Kim leads OICR’s Ontario Hereditary Cancer Research Network (OHCRN). OHCRN aims to identify all Ontario hereditary cancer carriers and discover new mechanisms of cancer development. This includes the biology, prevention, early detection and precision cancer treatment of germline carriers which can also be applied to all cancer patients.
