Joseph Connors

Dr Connors resides in Vancouver, British Columbia with his wife and two sons. He is an avid sea kayaker and reads science fiction whenever he has some spare time. For the past 30 years he has focused his clinical and research efforts on the biology and treatment of the cancers derived from lymphocytes, the white blood cells that comprise the immune system. When they become malignant, lymphocytes can give rise to lymphoma, both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin types; leukemia, chronic and acute lymphocytic types; or myeloma.

Dr Connors is a Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia and Chair of the Lymphoma and Myeloma Tumor Group & Clinical Director of the Center for Lymphoid Cancer at the British Columbia Cancer Agency.
