Urologist, Professor, Departments of Surgery and Oncology, University of Alberta, Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research Senior Scholar, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB
Dr. Moore completed his MD at the University of Alberta in 1986, after which he pursued his PhD in 1991 in experimental surgery and radiobiology. He completed a residency in urology in 1993. Dr. Moore’s research interests focus on novel modalities/therapeutics for treating bladder and prostate cancer, and means of improving survival of transplanted organs. This includes laser surgery (including PDT), development of laser and light delivery/detection equipment, drug development, drug testing, drug delivery, biochemical and biological modifiers, molecular markers, predictive assays and gene therapy.
