He then returned to Canada to study cancer signaling, angiogenesis, and biomarkers for targeted oncology drugs in the laboratory of Dr. Robert Kerbel at the Sunnybrook Research Institute, where he received a PhD from the Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto. He then completed a post-doctoral fellowship with Dr. Carl Walkley in the Stem Cell Regulation Unit at the St. Vincent's Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia, where he studied transgenic mouse models osteosarcoma and high throughput screening for chemotherapy sensitization targets. In 2011, Dr. Mutsaers returned to the University of Guelph and is currently an Associate Professor with a joint appointment in the OVC Departments of Clinical Studies and Biomedical Sciences. His research program uses comparative oncology to translate discoveries from preclinical research to clinical application in humans through the investigation of naturally occurring cancers in pet dogs. The laboratory is focused primarily on novel treatments for osteosarcoma, angiosarcoma, mucosal melanoma and bladder cancers. In addition to his research program, Dr. Mutsaers maintains clinical oncology practice within the OVC Health Sciences Centre.
