ELLICSR - Electronic Living Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Cancer Survivorship Research - is a collaborative space for health, wellness and cancer survivorship research. Its focus is on closing the gap between what we know and what people do to improve their health and wellness after a cancer diagnosis.
The 12,000-sq-ft research facility is part of the Princess Margaret Cancer Program at the University Health Network (UHN), and is located in the Toronto General Hospital. ELLICSR was made possible by a $3.7 million grant funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Ontario Research Fund, the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, the Quilt Project, the Weekend to End Breast Cancer and the Butterfield-Drew Cancer Survivorship Chair (co-PI - Pamela Catton and David Wiljer).
Research & Education ELLICSR houses researchers and self-management research facilities and provides an innovative physical base for the Princess Margaret Hospital Cancer Survivorship research program. By leveraging the intellectual and human resource capital of the survivors themselves, the goal for ELLICSR is to make new discoveries in cancer survivorship, innovate clinical processes, and investigate new models of survivorship care delivery. Key to this will be fostering collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and survivors, and enabling all stakeholders to engage with each other with appropriate clinical guidance. http://ellicsr.ca/content/research-education
Since it opened a year ago, a Toronto lab has helped hundreds of cancer survivors learn how to take control of their lives. In the process, its researchers are testing new and better ways to deliver care.
