Biography
Dr. Michael Anglesio is a principal investigator in the Ovarian Cancer Research Program and Women's Health Research Institute (WHRI) as well as an associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of British Columbia. After studying microbiology and immunology at McGill University, he completed his PhD at the Pediatric Cancer Research Program and post-doctoral fellowship examining molecular genomics of ovarian cancer at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center in Melbourne, Australia. His work focuses on further refining and differentiating ovarian cancer subtypes and the various origins of these subtypes. He has also taken a strong interest in understanding how malignancies arise from uterine tissues and is developing model systems to better understand how clear cell and endometrioid ovarian cancers differentiate as they arise from endometriosis.
