      Victor Ling is world- renowned for his work in cancer research. Last year he received both the Dr. Josef Steiner Prize in Europe and the General Motors Kettering Prize - recognized as the top international award for cancer research - at a June dinner in Washington, D.C. Ling helped discover how cancer cells resist the effects of tumor-destroying drugs by using a tiny protein. The protein ejects drugs from the cell before they have time to act. Ling spent years refining and confirming the discovery, which has sparked a search for the right decoy drug capable of fooling the protein and allowing cancer-fighting drugs to slip in for the kill.

      Dr. Robert Bruce, Is to direct the new Toronto branch of an international institute for cancer research funded by billionaire Daniel Ludwig. Bruce will continue his search for the cause of cancers linked to diet, because these have a chance of being prevented. There is some problem with diet and our approach will be to find out what that problem is, Bruce says.
