Dr. Notta did his PhD in the laboratory of Dr. John Dick, an internationally renowned cancer biologist. He did his post-doctoral fellowship in pancreatic cancer genomics under the  supervision of Dr. Tom Hudson, the founder of the International Cancer Genome Consortium and the previous president of the Ontario Institute of Cancer Research. He is also an expert on stem cell  biology and leukemia. Dr. Notta joined Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in November 2016 and is an  expert on pancreatic cancer research.
