Cancer research is in Allen Eaves’s blood – and that is nearly a pun, considering he is one of the biggest names in leukemia and stem cell research. Through his contributions with the Terry Fox Foundation, as hematology professor at the University of British Columbia, and founder of STEMCELL Technologies, he has continued to answer his life’s calling to improve the lives of British Columbians with cancer and promote scientific breakthroughs in the world of biotech.

Larry Goldenberg and Paula Gordon are not only husband and wife, but they are also two of BC’s experts in cancer care: Larry for prostate cancer and Paula for breast cancer. Paula has been key to establishing a Breast Health Fellowship at BC Women’s Hospital and Cancer Centre, while Larry has been instrumental in developing the Prostate Centre at Vancouver General Hospital. Together, they have vastly improved and prolonged the lives of British Columbians with cancer.

He devoted himself to improving the care and treatment for people with HIV/AIDS and his work saved millions of lives around the world.
