This fifth call for proposals was about identifying potential targeted and immune therapies for breast cancer, with a focus on targeted treatments, aspects of early detection, prognostic and predictive diagnoses, or preventative therapies.
This partnership initiated in 2014 has funded $3.2M of projects over five years, through a total of 17 projects across many researchers and institutions directly and through collaboration.
