Biography

Janusz Rak, MD, PhD is a Professor of Pediatrics and Jack Cole Chair in Pediatric
Hematology/Oncology at McGill University and Investigator at the Research Institute of the McGill
University Health Centre (RIMUHC). His laboratory investigates how oncogenic events deregulate
tumour microenvironment, orchestrate intercellular communications and trigger vascular
alterations and systemic vascular paraneoplastic syndromes in cancer. The focal point of these
studies are processes mediated by the exchange of extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes
carrying oncogenic, diagnostic and therapeutic cargo. He published over 220 research papers
(41,000 citations, h-index 86). He currently directs the CFI funded program – Centre for Applied
Nanomedicine (CAN) and the NET program sponsored by Fondation Charles Bruneau and CIBC to
investigate EV-based liquid biopsy approaches in pediatric cancer, as well as projects supported by
Canadian Institutes of Health Research and other sources. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of
Canada.
