Changemakers on a missions

We are scientists passionate about patients. We make valuable research possible, to deliver more and better treatments.

We untangle what is tangled for patients, and offer clear information about cancer and cancer treatments.

Side by side with our donors, we commit every day to win the race against cancer. So come on board.

Our focus

Clinical Research

We make it happen

More can be done if financial returns are no longer the strategy when searching for new cures, but what patients need instead. Our research aims for treatments that significantly increase the survival and/or improve the quality of life of cancer patients.
