The 32nd edition of the Montreal Beneva Marathon will be held on September 21 and 22. Donations collected by the IRIC team help fund the Institute’s cancer research and student scholarships.
For 3 consecutive years now, IRIC has participated in the Montreal Beneva Marathon. To date, the IRIC team has raised close to $40,000.
Over the past few years, the strong commitment of IRIC team members and donors has demonstrated the importance of fundamental research, to better understand the mechanisms of cancer and to develop personalized therapeutic approaches.

For the third year in a row, Mathilde Soulez, Research Advisor in Sylvain Meloche’s laboratory, will be the proud captain of the IRIC team.
“As my colleagues are well aware of my involvement with the Institute and my love of running, I was delighted to take on the role of team captain. With my double hat as captain and coach, I aspire to motivate my colleagues to join the team and raise funds.” Mathilde Soulez
