2026 TIME Symposium

Join us on April 16, 2026, at the BioSciences Complex for an engaging day featuring talks by Translational Medicine faculty and TMED graduate students, TMED poster sessions, and a wine and cheese reception for our TIME Core Open House and naming ceremony!

Featuring keynote speaker Dr. Trevor Pugh: Conducting a diverse orchestra yields sweeter music: Building multidisciplinary teams for local, national, and global collaboration

Dr. Pugh, PhD, FACMG is a cancer genomics researcher and board-certified molecular geneticist at the forefront of precision medicine. As holder of the Canada Research Chair in Translational Genomics, he uses genome sequencing to understand causes of cancer, guide treatment of patients, and detect early disease using blood tests. He is appointed as Professor in the University of Toronto Department of Medical Biophysics, Senior Scientist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and Senior Investigator at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research. He directs the OICR Genomics Program and the Princess Margaret Genomics Centre, genomics cores that specialize in single cell, cell-free DNA and clinically-accredited whole genome sequencing. He has contributed to multiple large-scale genomics and data-sharing programs including The Cancer Genome Atlas, NCI TARGET, AACR GENIE, and the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network. He leads the CHARM Consortium, an initiative to use cell-free DNA monitoring for all people with an inherited predisposition to cancer. Last year, Dr. Pugh was inducted into the Royal Society of Canada College of New Scholars, Artists, and Scientists.
