About Us

Manitoba Institute of Cell Biology is dedicated to basic and translational research in biology and its relation to health, with a primary emphasis on cancer and related diseases.

Our Senior Scientists study such challenging problems as the molecular origins of cancer, the role of signal transduction pathways in regulating cell proliferation, cell death, gene expression and platelet function, discovery of biomarkers, mechanisms of cell death, and the biochemical action of chemotherapeutics.

Our mission is through an interdisciplinary program of research and training in the basic and clinical sciences gain a better understanding of the nature of cancer and blood disorders.

The Director of MICB is Dr Spencer Gibson.
