Michael Anglesio

PhD

Affiliate Investigator, BC Children's Hospital

Member, Women's Health Research Institute
Member, Gynecological Cancer Initiative
Co-Founder, Molecular and Advanced Pathology Core, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of British Columbia

Dr. Anglesio's research has focused primarily on defining subtypes of ovarian cancer. In particular, genomic and protein-based biomarker studies that differentiate types and subtypes of each ovarian cancer histology. Most recently he has been focused on uncovering the mechanism through which endometriosis may become malignant and progress into either clear cell or endometrioid ovarian cancer. In 2017 Dr. Anglesio's group was first to provide evidence that roughly 1/3 of endometriosis frequently harbours cancer-driver mutations, and that these mutations are restricted to only one of two cell types that make up endometriosis.
