Hudson is President and Scientific Director of the  Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR), a new Institute created to  support multidisciplinary teams needed to effectively translate research  discoveries into interventions for better prevention, detection, diagnosis  and treatment of cancer. Since its inception, OICR has launched  several large-scale programs including the Ontario Health Study, the  One Millimetre Cancer Challenge, the Cancer Stem Cell Program, the  Pancreatic Cancer Genome Project (which is part of the International  Cancer Genome Consortium), the Terry Fox Research Institute/ OICR Selective Therapies Program and High Impact Clinical Trials. Dr. Hudson is internationally renowned for his work in genomics and  human genome variation. Past positions include leadership roles as  Director of the McGill University and Genome Quebec Innovation  Centre and Assistant-Director of the Whitehead/MIT Center for Genome  Research, where he led a team that generated physical and gene maps  of the human and mouse genomes. Dr. Hudson has been a founding  member of the International Haplotype Map Consortium, the Public  Population Project in Genomics (P3G) and the International Cancer  Genome Consortium. Dr. Hudson’s laboratory at OICR is involved  in the study of genome variation that affects cancer predisposition,  progression, and response to therapy. His main project focuses on the  genetic architecture of loci associated with risk to colorectal cancer. In 2007, Dr. Hudson was appointed to the rank of Professor in the  Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. Dr.  Hudson is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is editorin-chief of the journal Human Genetics. Dr. Hudson has coauthored over 200 peer-reviewed scientific publications.\n\n\n\nSpeaker Poster:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas Hudson Poster ( https://stage.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ISSS-Poster-Hudson-Thomas.pdf )Download\n\n\n\nPhotography Disclosure:\n\n\n\nPhotographs and/or video may be taken of participants at STAGE events.
