Advanced Center for Detection of Cancer (ACDC) Lab

The Advanced Center for Detection of Cancer (ACDC) Lab is the research laboratory of Dr. Eleftherios P. Diamandis located at Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The lab was founded in 1988 at Toronto Western Hospital and in 1993 the Lab moved to Mount Sinai Hospital. It was relocated to its current position at the Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Centre of Mount Sinai Hospital in July 2006. During the past 20 years, ACDC Lab has attracted more than 100 students, postdoctoral fellows and associates.

The ACDC Lab is focusing on four areas of research:

1. Kallikrein Biology and Pathophysiology

2. Proteomics

3. Tumor Markers

4. Translational Research

From the point-of-view of human disease, ACDC Lab is focusing on cancer, but other diseases including neurodegeneration, inflammation and skin disorders are also of interest. The research of the group integrates basic, cell biology, genomics, proteomics and translational research under one roof.
