The objectives for my research program are to more completely understand cell division at a molecular level and apply that knowledge to the study of cells that maintain the growth and development of the human brain and breast. We focus on a small set of key genes and study how their products are involved in human development and cancer using a variety of systems, including cells that grow indefinitely in the lab, mice, flies, and human tissues from both healthy and diseased individuals.
The Maxwell lab is a member of the Michael Cuccione Childhood Cancer Research program. We have received research funding support from the following organizations
Avon Foundation, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Terry Fox Research Institute and the Michael Cuccione Foundation. We are very grateful for their support.

Every day, our researchers work towards breakthroughs to transform the lives of kids in BC and around the world. Learn about our latest innovations and advancements in child health.
Congratulations to the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR), Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI), and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) investigators and their teams who were awarded funding through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Spring 2024 Project Grant competition. Several of our research community members received around $5 million in new research…
Published today (November 21, 2023) in Nature Communications, the study found that some treatable aspects of a child’s cancer that are present at diagnosis still remain if the disease returns. This finding suggests that clinicians can start looking for precision treatments for a child’s cancer immediately after diagnosis, rather than waiting until the cancer has…
For the first time ever, BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute has produced a mini Year in Review to publicly share a snapshot of research accomplished during the past fiscal year.
At BC Children’s, we are making discoveries that save lives and transform health care for children in our province and around the world. Our research portfolio includes basic, clinical, population, and public health research.
