Dr Branton was a dear friend of CCTG and a pioneer in the study of viral oncogenesis. His work has had far-reaching implications for cancer therapies and remain influential in the development of novel treatments. He played a pivotal role in shaping cancer research in Canada, serving as the inaugural Scientific Director of the Institute of Cancer Research at the Canadian Institutes of Health Research as well as spearheading the formation of the Canadian Cancer Research Alliance.
