Dr. Ross’s research seeks to develop new medicines and optimize the safe and effective use of medicines to better treat disease. Dr. Ross’s research is focused on treating pediatric cancer and genetic diseases by incorporate genetics and genomics into guiding, optimizing, and developing new medicines to better treat these devastating conditions.
Dr. Ross has published over 220 scientific articles in top scientific and medical journals, including Nature Genetics, New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, Circulation, Cell Stem Cell, CRISPR Journal, and Molecular Therapy. His h-index is 58 and his work has been cited more than 12,500 times. Dr. Ross has been invited to present at over 200 local, national, and international conferences, seminars, and public lectures.
Improving the safety of medicines: Together with collaborators across Canada and the USA, Dr. Ross helped establish the Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety (CPNDS), a Canada-wide network of clinicians and researchers to create a biobank and clinical data repository of patients who have suffered severe adverse drug reactions (ADRs) (Ross et al., 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011). Dr. Ross and colleagues have identified genetic risk factors for a growing number of serious ADRs, such as cisplatin-induced deafness (Ross et al., Nat Gen, 2009; Pussegoda et al., Clin Pharm Ther, 2013; Drogemoller et al, JAMA Oncol, 2017), codeine-related deaths (Madadi et al., 2009, Kelly et al., 2012; Sistonen et al., 2012), and doxorubicin-induced heart toxicity. In a Canada-wide program, Dr. Ross provides rapid-turnaround pharmacogenetic testing to determine individual susceptibility to ADRs for several chemotherapies for pediatric oncology patients at 10 pediatric oncology centres across Canada.
Gene therapy: Dr. Ross developed Glybera, the first gene therapy to receive formal regulatory approval (EMA, 2012). This is an AAV-based gene therapy for the treatment of a rare disease called LPL Deficiency (Ross et al., 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006). Clinical trials demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the approach (Stroes et al., 2008; Gaudet et al., 2012, 2016) and in 2012 it became the first gene therapy to receive formal regulatory approval (“First gene therapy approved”, Nat Biotech, 2012). Dr. Ross’s research now aims to improve the cost-effectiveness of future gene therapies and improve the in vivo delivery of gene therapies to specific tissues.
Therapeutic genome editing: Previously, my research helped show how NextGen genome sequencing can be implemented to rapidly diagnose patients with rare genetic diseases and improve their disease management (e.g., Tarailo-Graovac et al, NEJM, 2016; van Kuilenburg et al, NEJM, 2019). Building upon the previous research in gene therapy, Dr. Ross is developing novel therapeutics that use genome editing to treat genetic diseases. We developed the LumA mouse to facilitate this research (Yu et al, Mol Ther, 2023). Dr. Ross is the external scientific advisor for the NIH’s “TARGETED Challenge” Genome Editor Delivery program (2022-2028) launched in May 2023 ($6.6M over 5 years) to address the challenges of gene editor delivery to targeted peripheral tissues and the brain.

Ranked 12 of 225 journals in Biochemistry, Genetics, & Molecular Biology. This paper describes the final results of my CIHR project grant to identify genetic predictors of life-threatening anthracycline (chemotherapy)-induced heart failure and build upon these findings to explore a novel cardio-protective intervention using ATRA (vitamin A derivative) to prevent the toxicity. ATRA proved to be a highly effective strategy to reduce toxicity in our preclinical (mouse) study.
