Biography

Dr. Peter Black is a senior research scientist and associate director of clinical research at the Vancouver Prostate Centre, as well as a professor in the Department of Urologic Sciences at the University of British Columbia (UBC). His clinical subspecialty interest is in the treatment of urologic cancers, especially bladder and prostate cancer. He maintains a grant-funded translational research program in urothelial carcinoma with a focus on genomic analysis of response to chemotherapy, mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapy, and novel targeted therapies for bladder cancer.

Dr. Black has received a number of awards including Best Clinical Paper Published in Literature by the European Association of Urology in 2016, the David A. Swanson Distinguished Alumnus Award from MD Anderson Cancer Center in 2017 and the Distinguished Achievement Award for Excellence in Clinical or Applied Research by the UBC Faculty of Medicine in 2013. He served on the Board of Directors of the Société Internationale d'Urologie from 2013-2019 and is general secretary of the International Bladder Cancer Network.
